SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING THRESHOLD-BASED ACCESS TO COMPUTE RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- associating a service level with an entity;
receiving a request, at a first time, for access to a compute environment;
upon determining that the service level meets a compute environment service level threshold, allowing the entity access to the compute environment such that compute resources are reserved for use at a second time which is later than the first time; and
upon determining that the service level does not meet the compute environment service level threshold, denying the entity 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 medium, which, when executed by the processor, control the processor to perform operations comprising; associating a service level with an entity; receiving a request, at a first time, for access to a compute environment; upon determining that the service level meets a compute environment service level threshold, allowing the entity access to the compute environment such that compute resources are reserved for use at a second time which is later than the first time; and upon determining that the service level does not meet the compute environment service level threshold, denying the entity access to the compute environment.
