This software enables users to restrict the CPU usage of their virtual machines that are based on Parallels, allowing them to run more efficiently without consuming excessive processing power. It helps in optimizing machine performance and enhancing user experience.
CpuLimiter is a fantastic software application that offers a wide range of features for users looking to control and limit CPU usage for select virtual machines running in Parallels Desktop and/or Parallels Server. This free and lightweight application contains two separate programs that are both designed with the user in mind.
The first program, cpu-limit, is a standalone application that can be used independently from Terminal. It is capable of limiting any process, not just Parallels Virtual Machines, which gives users an incredible amount of flexibility and control. The second program is a user-friendly GUI that wraps around the cpu-limit program, making it accessible to most Mac users.
To start the CpuLimiter application, all you have to do is double-click it and select the running Virtual Machine from the list. Once selected, you can set the CPU limit as a percentage for the chosen Virtual machine. For instance, you can set the limit to 20 without including the % symbol.
It is worth noting that you can start as many instances of the CpuLimiter application as you want. However, please ensure that at least one Virtual machine is running for the application to detect it.
Overall, CpuLimiter is an efficient and user-friendly software application that provides users with a simple yet effective solution for managing CPU usage. Whether for personal or professional use, this software is an ideal choice for individuals seeking to retain control over their system's CPU usage.
