Hi Eric, This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but you could limit the total percentage of cpu usage for your processes by wrapping them in a cgroup. Here's a link to an article that gives a decent introduction to cpu limiting and cgroups, http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2014/11/04/restricting-process-cpu-usage-using-nice-cpulimit-and-cgroups . -f On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 7:21 PM, Andreas Orphanides <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > This is pretty naive -- I don't do a lot of multicore stuff, I know nothing > about Spacy, and I'm a Python newbie -- but I seem to recall that there's a > Python config variable to limit the max cores used?
