How to use cpulimit [SOLVED]

[frazelle09]

Have been using cputhrottle - to keep the system under 50 C - but it tends to freeze after several days... so i looked for another solution. It seems that there is a cpulimit program, which we also have installed.

When i run htop i see at least 8 processes that have "fah" in them. Does anyone know how i should go about using cpulimit? i can't see trying to use it with each of the 8 or more PIDs i'm seeing under htop. Maybe it can be used just after the FAH program is run???

Have a beautiful week and be happy!

The actual processing is done in the FAHCore_nn processes, fah-client handles getting and returning WUs and processing the log files. The "nn" would be replaced with the core number, a8 and a9 for current CPU WUs and I am not certain the oldest GPU core still being used, but in the 20s.

Here's the ChatGPT reply

The " short reply" It took a couple of trys to get this and i still need to make it into some sort of script that the compu can use when booting

cpulimit -e FAHCore_a7 -l 25 -b

Have a great evening!

Why not just fold on half the cores? Problem solved

If you don't want to fold on fewer cores, then it's better to use cgroups with cpu.max instead of cpulimit.
