Resource Controls

In the case when more than one project is bound to a single pool, you can set guarantees, or limits, on a single project. These limits are called resource controls. An example of a control is the setting of a minimum CPU limit, as in the case of using the fair share scheduler (FSS). Another example is the setting of a physical memory cap, as in the case of using the rcapd daemon. When setting a minimum CPU guarantee, the idle CPU cycles in one project can be used by the applications in the other projects.
