cset

cset is a command of the Python application cpuset. It eases the use of the Linux kernel facility cpusets.

The cpuset project is hosted on github: https://github.com/lpechacek/cpuset

Cpuset can be installed from source or with a prebuilt binary package.

Clone the repository to install it from source (the author recommends to create an rpm, see INSTALL for detailed description):

For Debian and Ubuntu cpuset is already packaged. It simply can be installed using the following command on terminal (the version may differ from the latest availabe version on github!):

 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install cpuset

Further prebuild binary packages are available on Open Build Service: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tsariounov:/cpuset
