@ -302,6 +302,19 @@ get the same proportion of CPU cycles, but you can tell the kernel to
give more shares of CPU time to one or more containers when you start
them via Docker.
The flag `-c` or `--cpu-shares` with value 0 indicates that the running
container has access to all 1024 (default) CPU shares. However, this value
can be modified to run a container with a different priority or different
proportion of CPU cycles.
E.g., If we start three {C0, C1, C2} containers with default values
(`-c` OR `--cpu-shares` = 0) and one {C3} with (`-c` or `--cpu-shares`=512)
then C0, C1, and C2 would have access to 100% CPU shares (1024) and C3 would
only have access to 50% CPU shares (512). In the context of a time-sliced OS
with time quantum set as 100 milliseconds, containers C0, C1, and C2 will run
for full-time quantum, and container C3 will run for half-time quantum i.e 50
milliseconds.
