OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL doesn't really have anything to do with limiting CPU usage, but this is how to set it in docker compose:

services:
  ollama:
    image: ollama/ollama:${OLLAMA_DOCKER_TAG-latest}
    environment:
      - OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=4
    ports:
      - 11434:11434

Or via docker run:

docker run --rm --env OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=4 -p 11434:11434 -d --name ollama ollama/ollama
