Is there a program that logs this, or at least lets me see in real time which process is running on which core? I don't think the task manager quite does either of these.

You want Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Processor Explorer does not offer this feature. See Determine which CPU a process is running on Jan 20, 2015 at 18:01
I think you are assuming that a process gets run on a fixed core, but this is not true. Processes will jump from core to core way to fast to monitor visually.

No, I am not assuming that.– joshFeb 5, 2010 at 14:55

It's clear what he asked for. He asked for a log of process affinity and runtime. Nothing in josh's question presumes affinity locking.– OCDtechFeb 22, 2013 at 16:14
For a command-line solution you may be interested in the pslist utility, which is part of the pstools suite. I'm afraid it doesn't show processor affinity, but it will enable you to log which processes are running and for how long.
The official site for pstools can be found here.
