+  Specifies a period of time in microseconds for the longest continuous period in which the tasks in a cgroup have access to CPU resources.
+
+**--linux-realtime-period**=REALTIMEPERIOD
+  Sets the CPU period to be used for realtime scheduling (in usecs). Same as **--linux-cpu-period** but applies to realtime scheduler only.
+

+  Sets the CPUs to use within the cpuset (default is to use any CPU available).
