Running 100% is not necessarily a problem unless it is hurting throughput elsewhere. You can use nice & renice to make the process a lower priority so other processes will get more share of the CPU if there is competition.

Hi, new here and need some help. Sometimes my site is extremely slow, if when there aren't too many people on, whereas when there are over 300 online members the site may be very fast. We use CentOS, PHP 5.26. The server has 4GB and Plesk usually shows about 2 or 3 GB free.

I am running a Dell PE R815 with 4 x AMD 12 core CPUs with 128GB of RAM and a RAID 5 array of 6 SAS disks. This is an HPC application and is definitely CPU bound, however once I run 16 of these processes (thus pinning 16 cores) the work performed slows down dramatically, to maybe 5 or 10% of what...

renice
RENICE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RENICE(8)
NAME
renice -- alter priority of running processes
SYNOPSIS
renice priority [[-p] pid ...] [-g pgrp ...] [-u user ...]
renice -n increment [[-p] pid ...] [-g pgrp ...] [-u user ...]
DESCRIPTION
renice alters the scheduling priority of one or more running processes. The following who parameters are interpreted as process ID's,
process group ID's, or user names. renice'ing a process group causes all processes in the process group to have their scheduling priority
altered. renice'ing a user causes all processes owned by the user to have their scheduling priority altered. By default, the processes to
be affected are specified by their process ID's.
Options supported by renice:
-g Force who parameters to be interpreted as process group ID's.
-n Instead of changing the specified processes to the given priority, interpret the following argument as an increment to be applied to
the current priority of each process.
-u Force the who parameters to be interpreted as user names.
-p Resets the who interpretation to be (the default) process ID's.
For example,
renice +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32
would change the priority of process ID's 987 and 32, and all processes owned by users daemon and root.
Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of processes they own, and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value''
within the range 0 to PRIO_MAX (20). (This prevents overriding administrative fiats.) The super-user may alter the priority of any process
and set the priority to any value in the range PRIO_MIN (-20) to PRIO_MAX.
Useful priorities are: 0, the ``base'' scheduling priority; 20, the affected processes will run only when nothing at the base priority wants
to; anything negative, the processes will receive a scheduling preference.
FILES
/etc/passwd to map user names to user ID's
SEE ALSO
nice(1), getpriority(2), setpriority(2)
HISTORY
The renice command appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
Non super-users can not increase scheduling priorities of their own processes, even if they were the ones that decreased the priorities in
the first place.
