The EDF SMP scheduler supports simple thread processor affinities (see #3059) with a small run-time overhead. The current default SMP scheduler lacks support for thread processor affinities at all. The EDF SMP scheduler offers a good feature set for most applications. So, use it by default. Run-time libraries like libgomp, MTAPI, work stealing schedulers, language interpreters (e.g. Erlang virtual machine), maintainence of per-processor data (e.g. Universal Memory Allocator (UMA)), etc. use a one-to-one thread processor affinity for example. Update #3063.
