yes, that's what the hard cpu scheduler allows you to do, assign a 'fixed' amount of tokens per time unit to each context, but also allow for bursts after a time of quiescence ... > In the context of VServer, allocate a guaranteed minimum resource, but > allow resources to be 'burstable' to 100% of the native host system. > Further, set a maximum 'burstable' limit, of say 90%. and 'reserve' > 10% for host system alone. this is done with the newer devel scheduler on a per cpu basis ... if you get the numebrs right you should be able to do that ...
