I've been wracking my brain, but for the life of me can't recall the exact program name, but back when I managed a HPCC, there was a tool that would let you restrict a running process to X number of CPUs/Cores natively. I keep thinking it was MPC, but nothing googles on that. Regardless, that might be a better way of running Sybase, as a container may not be beefy enough to handle the load Sybase is likely to generate.
'tasksel'? I believe it is just a wrapper for sched_setaffinity/sched_getaffinity, which you can also do with cgroups.
