# CPU provisioning

Coder allows you to set the CPU provisioning ratio for each of your
organizations. The CPU provisioning ratio configures workspaces with a
guaranteed minimum capacity, while enabling them to use available capacity for
improved performance. The guaranteed minimum capacity is equivalent to the total
CPUs provisioned for a workspace divided by the provisioning ratio.

For example, let's say that you set a CPU provisioning ratio of 8:1. If a user
creates a workspace with 4 CPUs, then Coder will reserve 0.5 CPUs on the
underlying node, with a maximum limit of 4 CPUs.
