|
|
|
+CPU shares is kind of CPU bandwidth weight, the proportion will only
|
|
|
+reflect when CPU-intensive processes are running. When tasks in one
|
|
|
+container are idle, other containers are allowed to borrow the left-over
|
|
|
+CPU time.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The actual amount of CPU time can very depending on the number of containers
|
|
|
+running on the system. If a container have a share of 1024 and two other
|
|
|
+containers have share of 512, when processes in all containers attempt to
|
|
|
+use 100% of CPU, the first container would receive 50% of all CPU time, if
|
|
|
+another container with share of 1024 is added, the first container would
|
|
|
+only get 33% of the CPU (the rest receive 16.5%, 16.5% and 33% of CPU).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note that shares of CPU time are distributed per all CPU cores on multi-core
|
|
|
+systems. Even if a container is limited to less than 100% of CPU time, it
|
|
|
+may use 100% of each individual CPU core. E.g., if we start {C0} container
|
|
|
+with (`-c` = 512) and {C1} with (`-c` = 1024), we start three CPU-intensive
|
|
|
+processes (one in {C0} and two in {C1}) on a system with more than three
|
|
|
+cores, might results in the following division of CPU shares:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+PID container CPU CPU share
|
|
|
+100 {C0} 0 100% of CPU0
|
|
|
+101 {C1} 1 100% of CPU1
|
|
|
+102 {C1} 2 100% of CPU2
