Hi ,

In help section , it says that cpulimit is floating point value 0 to 1 , however in settings panel the number is integer and chnages 1 to infinity.

My question is - what should i actually add there for a proper configuration ? And if Floating 0..1 is correct, maybe input should be corrected not allowing to ad more than 1 ?

Thanks

it only says it is a floating point number, not between 0 and 1

so any floating point value is ok e.g. 4.7
the arrows only go to the next integer, but you can manually enter a floating point number
you have to use '.' as decimal point if the user interface is set to English
 
Oh, ok i see now .

Can you point me if following configurations are possible and correct :

1. Cores: 4 , Cpulimit:0.5 (would assign 0.5 of ONE core only, but would spread it to 4cores inside VPS) ?
2. Cores:1, Cpulimit: 4 (would assign power of 4 physical Cores , but would only show 1 CORE inside VPS) ?

Also if i wish assigning full 4 cores to VPS should i do:
Cores 4, Cpulimit: 4 ? (Not Cores:4, Cpulimit:1)

Is this correct ?
Thanks

yes

2. Cores:1, Cpulimit: 4 (would assign power of 4 physical Cores , but would only show 1 CORE inside VPS) ?
no, you still get only one core, since the container will get pinned to a specific core

Also if i wish assigning full 4 cores to VPS should i do:
Cores 4, Cpulimit: 4 ? (Not Cores:4, Cpulimit:1)
yes but the cpulimit 4 is superfluous in this case, so you can omit it


to summarize:

cores pins the container to as much real cores as you define
cpulimit limits the overall cpu time to that of the number you define
