For instance, with a 4-core machine, you can use the processor_ids parameter to assign core 0 and core 1 to handle network traffic. You can also use the store configuration
processor_id parameter to assign core 2 to handle the
$sys.failsafe store. This configuration causes the EMS server to create two threads that handle network traffic, and sets the affinity of them to core 0 and core 1 respectively. It also sets the affinity of the thread handling the store
$sys.failsafe to core 2. No affinity is set for other threads.
