Abstract
An example method according to the disclosure can comprise receiving a requested number of slots from a user at a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a plurality of slots for processing one or more jobs. Each of the plurality of slots can be associated with a status (e.g., used, available, idle). A user can request a requested number of slots from the computing system. A quantity of slots can be allocated to the user based on the request, user category (e.g., under-served, adequately served), slot status and other factors. Only idle slots can be allocated to the adequately served user, whereas both available slots and idle slots can be allocated to the under-served user. One or more slots allocated to a user can be re-allocated to other users.
