Keyword select

Purpose

The select function controls which resource is picked from an allocation and it's alternatives. The selection is re-evaluated each time the resource used in the previous time slot becomes unavailable.

Even for non-persistent allocations a change in the resource selection only happens if the resource used in the previous (or next for ASAP tasks) time slot has become unavailable.

Syntax select (maxloaded | minloaded | minallocated | order | random)
Arguments maxloaded
Pick the available resource that has been used the most so far.
minloaded
Pick the available resource that has been used the least so far.
minallocated
Pick the resource that has the smallest allocation factor. The allocation factor is calculated from the various allocations of the resource across the tasks. This is the default setting.
order
Pick the first available resource from the list.
random
Pick a random resource from the list.
Context allocate
