Description

Idea it to have limited cpu usage by tvh process,
also to make system more responsive.
nice, cpulimit, and cgroups are external programs with can make this,
but this is not so good for embedded systems even IoT,
where every free cpu % is good but space is limited.

p.s.
Transcoding is not in idea, but who know

History

I don't think that we need this code, the embedded systems are using busybox which is already fine for those purposes (basically it's one big binary implementing all those cmd-line tools to save space).

#2

Updated by saen acro over 6 years ago

So is there a way to implement option with will say
"TVH use only 50% of CPU's power" (and leave rest to usb with write on external hdd)
There is a moments of hi cpu usage when EPG scan for example.

cpulimit seems like a really weird tool; the properly configured kernel should do the right scheduling

No one implement such stuff in micro kernels, anyone try to cut as much as possible to save space.

Is satip-axe have this optimisations in kernel?
