+<P>A process's CPU affinity mask determines the set of CPUs on which
+it is eligible to run. On a multiprocessor system, setting the CPU
+affinity mask can be used to obtain performance benefits. For
+example, by dedicating one CPU to a particular process (i.e., setting
+the affinity mask of that process to specify a single CPU, and
+setting the affinity mask of all other processes to exclude that
+CPU), it is possible to ensure maximum execution speed for that
+process. Restricting a process to run on a single CPU also avoids the
+performance cost caused by the cache invalidation that occurs when a
+process ceases to execute on one CPU and then recommences execution
+on a different CPU.</P>
+<P>A CPU affinity mask is represented by the cpu_set_t structure, a
+&quot;CPU set&quot;, pointed to by <I>mask</I>. A set of macros for
+manipulating CPU sets is described in <B>cpu_set</B>(3).</P>
