System and method for providing threshold-based access to compute resources
DCFirst Claim

1. A method comprising:
- associating, via a processor, a requestor service level with a requestor, the requestor being separate from a compute environment and the requestor service level being a service level required by the requestor when requesting resources in the compute environment;
receiving a request associated with the requestor for access to the compute environment;
identifying a second service level, wherein the second service level is a service level offered by the compute environment;
upon determining that the second service level can satisfy the requestor service level, allowing the requestor access to the compute environment; and
upon determining that the second service level cannot satisfy the requestor service level, denying the requestor access to the compute environment.

Abstract
The invention relates to systems, methods and computer-readable media for controlling access to compute resources in a compute environment such as a cluster or a grid. The method of providing conditional access to a compute environment comprises associating a required service level threshold with a compute environment, associating a service level with a requestor, receiving a request for access to the compute environment from the requestor; and, if the service level of the requestor meets the specified service level threshold, then allowing access to the compute resources. The threshold-based access may be enforced by reservations, policies or some other method.

20. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable storage device storing instructions, which, when executed by a processor, control the processor to perform operations comprising; associating a requestor service level with a requestor, the requestor being separate from a compute environment and the requestor service level being a service level required by the requestor when requesting resources in the compute environment; receiving a request associated with the requestor for access to the compute environment; identifying a second service level, wherein the second service level is a service level offered by the compute environment; upon determining that the second service level can satisfy the requestor service level, allowing the requestor access to the compute environment; and upon determining that the second service level cannot satisfy the requestor service level, denying the requestor access to the compute environment.
