You can even assign a single particular process (e.g. nginx) to a core (or a range of cores) yourself in your own linux laptop. Assigning a virtual CPU to a physical core is no more difficult with modern supervisors. >So assume the VPS is a 16 core, according to your statement if they have 16 clients, the web host can allot 16 clients only? No, they can also allot 1,000 clients, which would then be sharing cores. But IF they pin each of their clients to a single core, then yes, they can only have up to 16 clients (or less) for a 16-core server. And they can also combine those two options: allot 4 cores to 4 customers (one per core), and the remaining 12 cores to 20-30 other customers...
