Presented is a graphical interface for managing at least reservations and
jobs within a compute environment such as a cluster or a grid. A user can
graphically view reservations and jobs in the environment and interact
with the interface to modify and create reservations with a view of the
current status of the resources, available resources and graphically see
how proposed changes, additions or modifications of reservations would
affect the environment. The invention may comprise a graphical user
interface, a computing device for operating the graphical user interface,
a computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a
computing device to utilize the run the graphical interface, and methods
of interacting with the user through the graphical user interface.
Disclosed are various graphical windows that present in different ways
past resource consumption, a current time and future resource predicted
usage based on at least one of jobs running and reservations. The
interface also includes a window that shows user credentials and
dependencies between users, administrators and policies.
