Claim Text:
1. A method of dynamically controlling a reservation of compute resources within a compute environment, the method comprising: receiving a request from a requestor for the reservation of compute resources within the compute environment for processing workload; reserving a first group of compute resources to yield the reservation, the first group of compute resources having a first value, and wherein the first value is used to determine a threshold value; evaluating compute resources within the compute environment to determine a second value for a second group of compute resources; determining whether the reservation can be improved by comparing the second value of the second group of resources with the threshold value to yield a determination; and if the determination indicates that the second value of the second group of compute resources is an improvement over the threshold value, then modifying the reservation from the first group of compute resources to the second group of compute resources of the compute environment.
