scheduling of processes on an SMP system is essentially completely
transparent to the user and the processes.

there are some tricks in modern linux systems that can be used to
circumvent the normal decisions of the operating system's scheduler, but
in general these are not going to be useful unless you really, really
know what you are doing.
