This article explains how the three binding options -bsort, -bstart, and -bstop control where and in which order jobs are bound to CPUs in Gridware Cluster Scheduler. Together, they define the scheduler’s fill-up pattern — how hardware resources are used, balanced, or reused across sockets, cores, and NUMA nodes. Understanding these options is essential for…

Qontrol – A Modern Web UI for Gridware Cluster Scheduler
With our latest announcement at HPC-Gridware, we’re introducing Qontrol — a completely new, web-based user interface for Gridware Cluster Scheduler.
Understanding Binding in Gridware Cluster Scheduler
Modern compute nodes have grown increasingly complex — featuring heterogeneous cores, multi-level caches, and intricate NUMA topologies. In the previous post, Compute Nodes with Heterogeneous Topology in Gridware Cluster Scheduler, we looked at how these topologies are detected and represented in Gridware Cluster Scheduler. This post explores binding — how the scheduler decides where exactly…
