<h1>7.1 Advance Reservations</h1>

<p>
<h2>Reservation Overview</h2>
<p>An advance reservation is the mechanism by which
Maui guarantees the availability of a set of resources at a particular
time. Every reservation consists of 3 major components, a list of
resources, a timeframe, and an access control list. It is the job
of the scheduler to make certain that the access control list is not violated
during the reservation's lifetime (i.e., its timeframe) on the resources
listed. For example, a reservation may specify that node002 is reserved
for user Tom on Friday. The scheduler will thus be constrained to
make certain that only Tom's jobs can use node002 at any time on Friday.
Advance reservation technology enables many features including backfill,
deadline based scheduling, QOS support, and meta scheduling.
