I want to bind a thread to a specific CPU. In C++, there is API can do it. My question is whether there is similar API in Java?

thanks .

That doesn't answer my question. Do you have more than one processor on that machine?

No, java threads can't be scheduled relative to other threads, and there's certainly no way to specify which hardware to run it on. One of the major benefits of java is that it abstracts the hardware away from you. What are you actually trying to accomplish with all of this?
