limiting cpu consomption with systemd ?

[promeneur]

With Linux, I use "cpulimit" to limit CPU consumption of the cores.

I know these days there is something more modern using systemd, but it is too techie.

Please, can you (folding team) provide this systemd alternative ?

Thanks

CPUQuota=XX (in percent) should work ([Service] section) with distributions running unified cgroup hierarchy (check "default-hierarchy=" in "systemctl --version" output), but note that it is relative to one CPU. The value has to be multiplied by CPU count used for folding.

For testing purposes, calling

Code: Select all

sudo chrt -b -p 0 $(pgrep -x FahCore_a8)

has the same effect as the linked patch. To reset to default SCHED_OTHER:

Code: Select all

sudo chrt -o -p 0 $(pgrep -x FahCore_a8)

(adapt the core name if necessary)

Code: Select all

ps -o nice,class,comm -p $(pgrep -x FahCore_a8)

will show ("CLS" column) current policy: B = SCHED_BATCH, TS = SCHED_OTHER.
