You can change the priority with the "nice" command. But not sure how to lock it to a particular core.

A term often used when speaking of locking a process to a cpu/core is "affinity". That could also help when doing research for this.

thanks ricno... that helped...
I could find a solution to it.
sched_setaffinit() in sched.h
it works:-)

Glad to be able to help. Good luck!
