No, on most (all?) MP-Machines, a process is not bound to a special
processor. The system kernel does the work to distribute the process on
the available processors, and that can change. So it wouldn't make
sense to lock the session to a specific CPU-ID (AFAIK, now the
hardware-Address of ethernet-cards is used as ID)
