0005 Description:
0006 The /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_shares tunable is used
0007 to set the cpu bandwidth a user is allowed. This is a
0008 proportional value. What that means is that if there
0009 are two users logged in, each with an equal number of
0010 shares, then they will get equal CPU bandwidth. Another
0011 example would be, if User A has shares = 1024 and user
0012 B has shares = 2048, User B will get twice the CPU
0013 bandwidth user A will. For more details refer
