Why are you trying to check from the shell?  What problem are you
trying to solve by knowing which CPU?

(The problem is that it's inherently *very* racy - the process could easily
get bounced across 2 or 3 different CPUs in the amount of time it takes
a shell command to check - and on large SGI UV boxes under sufficient memory
thrashing, it could bounce across 50 or 60 different cores while you check).

And checking the *current* process tells you even less than "checking the
process you care about" - because unless it's a shell builtin, when you
launch the command, it will quite possibly end up on some core other than
the one the shell is running on....
