Actual exam question from Citrix's 1Y0-312

Question #: 14
Topic #: 1

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is maintaining a Citrix Virtual Apps environment. The engineer has recently noticed two single-threaded applications consistently consuming 25% of the CPU resources, causing substantial performance issues for users of these servers. The engineer has deployed Workspace Environment
Management (WEM) within the infrastructure and enabled CPU Spikes Protection.
What else can the engineer enable within WEM to address this issue?

A. Exclude Specified Processes and add the two problem applications
B. Process Affinity and add the two problem applications
C. CPU Clamping and set it to 10% for the two problem applications
D. Limit Sample Time and set it to 10% for the two problem applications

C: CPU Clamping - These settings allow you to forcefully prevent named processes from using more than X% of the CPU.

C is the answer CPU clamping CPU clamping prevents processes using more than a specified percentage of the CPU’s processing power. WEM “throttles” (or “clamps”) that process when it reaches the specified CPU percentage you set. This lets you prevent processes from consuming large amounts of CPU.

answer C CPU Clamping specifies a process and sets the maximum percentage of a processor’s resources that a process can use. It’s a brute force approach that is computationally expensive - the 2 apps are single threaded so enabling CPU affinity will make no sense - exclusions from CPU spikes protection makes no sense if we want to limit the 2 processes
