Nope, SoGE (as of 8.1.9) supports CGROUPS w/o any code changes, just add “USE_CGROUPS=yes” to the exec parameter list to make shepherd use CGroup saveset controller. My path only extends it to supports system and hence possibility to hard enforce memory/cpu limits, etc… Hth, Ondrej

We are using Son of Grid Engine though. Can you point me to the right docs to get cgroup enabled in the exec host (CentOS 7). I must admit I have no experience with cgroups.
