# Resource Control Demo

Resource control aims to control compute resource distribution to improve
reliability and utilization of a system. The facebook kernel and container
teams have been intensively researching and implementing mechanisms and
methods to advance resource control. `resctl-demo` demonstrates and
documents various aspects of resource control using self-contained workloads
in guided scenarios. Here's a screencast:
