A guide to limiting CPUs to Linux processes on Debian / Ubuntu with CPUTool


Currently, this program is only available on Debian / Ubuntu you can install using the following command:


sudo apt install cputool

Limit process with CPULimit


Let us first learn about how cpulimit works, let's first try running a command dd Hard Drive .


dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &

You can track your progress in action with the command: top


Monitor dd Command CPU Usage


Here I see that this process always runs with 100% cpu (1 core), now I try limited to CPUtool.


You use the -cpu-limit or -c options to limit the process's cpu usage, -p to specify which processes need to be restricted.


For example, I limit the above process to a PID of 8275 with 50% (1 core).


cputool --cpu-limit 50 -p 8275

After running, you can check the active progress with the command top


Limit Process CPU to 50% Usage


Suppose I want to reset 20%:


 cputool --cpu-limit 20 -p 8275

Limit Process CPU Usage to 20%


Note: When running this program, after entering the command you do not operate on the keyboard to keep the program running, to exit you can press ctrl + X.


You can also find and group programs by specifying a unique PID. For example, if you want to find processes running by apache you can use:


pidof apache2

Result.


# pidof apache2
9592 3643 3642 3641 3640 3638 3637 1780

You can use the following command to limit all apache processes


cputool --cpu-limit 20 -P 1780

You note, you use the -P option (capital letter P), unlike the first example, which is lowercase p.


You can see more information with:


man cputool

Good luck.
