How to restrict ASP.NET to specific processors in a multiprocessor system

[bonse]

According to reference
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815156 , I added
<processModel enable="true" webGarden="true" cpuMask="8" /> on web.config,
restart iis service, the w3wp.exe process always use all cpu. The iis server
is windows 2003 iis6, how can i restrict ASP.NET to specific processors in a
multiprocessor system?

If the WebGarden property is set to false, the CpuMask
attribute is ignored and only one worker process runs :

<processModel enable="true" webGarden="false" />

in machine.config, it states the processModel is ignored in it and the
settings are taken from IIS. Don't know if the same is true in
web.config? I've taken a quick look through the IIS Manager, but cannot
see anywhere to set processor afinity (but you can throttle total CPU
usage)

If you're using IIS 6, right-click "Application Pools" in the IIS Manager.
Select "Properties", and then the "Performance" tab.

There, you can set the number of processors enabled in a webGarden.

But, as mentioned, simply setting webGarden to "false"
in machine.config will do that for you at the machine level.
