I have a 6 core CPU and the same problem of cpulimit only working with 1 core.
I am using handbrake which runs full throttle on all cores making my PC quite noisy with the CPU fan at full speed. When I do "cpulimit -e ghb -l 99" handbrake ends up using 99% of one core, which means super long encoding times. I am using cpulimit_1.4-1 on Ubuntu 12.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822292 Title: cpulimit not working correctly with mulitcore CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpulimit/+bug/822292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
