Here is the full command to start memcached instance:

docker run -d --name ${memcached_name} --privileged --memory 1G --network bridge \
-p ${port_i}:${port_i} ${cpu_pinning_s[set]} memcached memcached -p ${port_i} \
-t ${threads_i} -c 10240

We have a script to get CPU set from the same NUMA node, both CPU count and thread
count for each instance are equal to Num(system online CPUs) / Num(memcached instances).
That is, if we run 8 memcached instances, 224 / 8 = 28, so each instance will get 28 CPUs and
28 threads assigned.

Here is the full command to start memtier instance:
docker run --rm --network bridge ${cpu_pinning_s[set]} --memory 1G \
redislabs/memtier_benchmark memtier_benchmark --server=${memcached_id} --port=${port_i} \
--protocol=memcache_text --test-time=20 --threads=${threads_i} -c 1 --pipeline=16 --ratio=1:100 \
--run-count=5 --hide-histogram

Each instance has the same CPU set as the server it connects to, and it has the same threads
count.

That is all for server and client settings.
