Tunable Formula/Eligible time • Extend the scheduler's tunable formula to include additional mathematical operations Custom Resources currently are viewable and request able/modifiable by all users, operators, and managers. • This Formula may be in in conjunction with the standard PBS Professional scheduler • Example: Company A would like to create per-job coefficients in their formula which are set by system defaults and not able to be requested/modified or viewed by the user. • For example A, B, C and D below would be these coefficient resources. • A *(Queue Priority) + B*(Job Class Priority) + C*(CPUs) + D*(Queue Wait Time)
Standing Reservations • Provides the ability to for administrator to setup a reoccurring requirement for resources
