[scyld-users] CPU binding for SMP

Hi
Does Scyld OS has any means of CPU binding for clusters with SMP?
The cluster I am working on has two CPUs per node with Scyld OS running
kernel 2.2.19-12. I am trying to compile a benchmarking program which
makes use of cycle counter for timing measure. Since the cluster has
two CPUs, there must be a way to bind processes to one of the local
CPUs to avoid obtaining wrong values of the cycle counter register from
the other CPU (-- they don't share one cycle counter).
There is a function, sched_setaffinity() from sched.h, for kernels
2.6.x or later version, or sysmp() function from pset patch for older
kernels. Neither one works for my cluster. Is there any work around for
the kernel 2.2.19-12 of Scyld OS?
Thanks in advance,
Jeho Park
