This article tested several configuration parameters that the Docker container restricts the use of cpu resources. The top and dstat commands were used to analyze resource possession.
package main
import (
"flag"
"runtime"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
cpunum := flag.Int("cpunum", 0, "cpunum")
flag.Parse()
fmt.Println("cpunum:", *cpunum)
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(*cpunum)
for i := 0; i < *cpunum - 1; i++ {
go func() {
for {
}
}()
}
for {
}
}
I made 1 image occupied by the test cpu, and the image occupied 1 core by default

On Linux systems, the parameters that can be used to limit docker container resource usage are:
—cpu-period int Limit CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period —cpu-quota int Limit CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota -c, —cpu-shares int CPU shares (relative weight) —cpuset-cpus string CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)
docker provides the parameters ES22en-ES23en and ES24en-ES25en to control the CPU clock cycle to which the container can be allocated. The cpu-ES28en trick is used to specify how often the container’s use of CPU will be reallocated, while the ES30en-ES31en trick is used to specify the maximum amount of time that can be spent running the container during the cycle. Unlike the cpu-ES33en configuration, which specifies an absolute value and has no elasticity in it, the container’s use of CPU resources will never exceed the configured value.
The units of ES37en-ES38en and ES39en-ES40en are microseconds (s). The minimum value of ES42en-ES43en is 1000 microseconds, the maximum value is 1 second (10^6 s), and the default value is 0.1 second (100000 s). The default value of ES46en-ES47en is -1, indicating no control.
For example, if the container process needs to use 0.2 seconds of a single CPU every 1 second, set ES51en-ES52en to 1,000,000 (that is, 1 second) and ES53en-ES54en to 200,000 (0.2 seconds). Of course, in the multi-core case, if the container process is allowed to occupy both CPU completely, you can set ES56en-ES57en to 100,000 (0.1 second) and ES58en-ES59en to 200,000 (0.2 second).
Use the container images made in this article to test the cpu-ES64en and ES65en-ES66en parameters.
In the 4 core systems used in this article, if you want cpuusetest to fill two cores, how should you configure it? It can be seen from the above analysis that if ES71en-ES72en is set to 100000, then cpu-ES74en should be set to 4 * 100000 if the expectation is to occupy 4 cores, and 2 * 100000 if the expectation is to occupy 1 core. Here’s test 1:

Using the above two parameters, you can set the exact control of cpu. There is also one parameter, ES79en-ES80en, which is relative. Suppose you set the A container cpu-ES83en to 1536 and B to 512. So, what is the cpu occupation before the container B is started?

It is not hard to see from the above test results. When setting the relative value, container A is still full of cpu before startup, while after startup, container B accounts for 3/4 and container B accounts for 1/4.
There is also a parameter es101EN-sets, which specifies the core used by the container. Test with the above test container, specifying the container to use the 0,3 core:
docker run --name cpuuse -d --cpuset-cpus=0,3 fangfenghua/cpuusetest 4
0,3 core occupancy:
