 Since these logical core numbers, and their mapping to specific cores on specific NUMA sockets, can vary from platform to platform,

 This information can also be determined for all cores on the system by examining the ``/proc/cpuinfo`` file, for example, by running cat ``/proc/cpuinfo``.
 The physical id attribute listed for each processor indicates the CPU socket to which it belongs.
 This can be useful when using other processors to understand the mapping of the logical cores to the sockets.

 To help prevent additional workloads from running on those cores,
 it is possible to use the ``isolcpus`` Linux kernel parameter to isolate them from the general Linux scheduler.
