limiting cpu consomption with systemd ?

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.
You can also try

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.
