July 30, 201510 yr My current setup had Folding@home running inside Docket with 3 CPUs pinned. CPU stays around 40-60% using this setup. Overall, I am happy with it. Plex runs with no special pinning, as well as a Windows 7 VM with 1 vcpu What I would like to accomplish is something like this.... Let Folding@home use all 6 cores until plex requests the CPU for Transcoding. Or maybe let folding@home use 5 cores until CPU reaches 100%, then restrict FAH to 3 CPUs... You get the idea. Is anyone doing anything similar?
August 3, 201510 yr I'm not aware of a way to do that with docker, however BOINC, a similar app, has internal settings to limit usage based on cpu load. For instance you can set it to only run when overall cpu utilization is below 50%
August 3, 201510 yr With folding at home I *think* that there is a ton of customizations for the cpu usage, but you've got to manually edit the config files. Information is somewhere on their project thread.
