How to specify a CPU core to run a program in Linux

I need to run two programs on the same core of a CPU. The second one always runs on another core because the first program uses 50% of the first core. How can I force Linux to run a program on a core?

Solution 
  • schedtool -a 0x1 -e program1
schedtool -a 0x1 -e program2

    See the schedtool manual for details.
