Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: generating which is to consume compute resources in a compute environment a first start range of each instance of a workload in a list of workloads; determining a second start range using a node range that indicates available compute resources of a node in the compute environment; logically AND'ing the second start range with the node range to yield a second node range; logically OR'ing the second node range with a global node range to yield a third node range, wherein the global node range reflects timeframes and compute resources available to all instances of the workloads that can simultaneously consume compute resources on a same set of allocated compute resources; generating a list of compute resources using the third node range on which to start instances of the workload from the list of workloads to consume compute resources and a timeframe at which to start the jobs; and establishing a reservation in the compute environment using the list of compute resources.
