Explanation

Control groups (cgroups) allow you to allocate resources — such as CPU time, system memory, network bandwidth, or combinations of these resources — among user-defined groups of tasks (processes) running on a system.

Utilising cgroups helps to ensure the login nodes stay available to a group of users, even when one user attempts to claim all available resources.
