Description
CPU-heavy processes can be restrained to a chosen percentage when a workload would otherwise consume too much processor time.
This command-line tool is useful for users and administrators who need a lightweight limit on one process. It attempts control rather than guaranteeing perfect scheduling, and it does not replace cgroups or full resource-management policies.
Limiting CPU can slow jobs, hide performance problems, or affect services. Test limits before applying them to important workloads.
