SCHEDULING OF FIXED NUMBER OF NON-SHARABLE RESOURCES

Abstract:

An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to scheduling of a fixed number of non-sharable resources. In one embodiment, a schedule data specifying respective durations in which a non-sharable resource is allocated to corresponding sets of users is maintained. A check is performed in a duration (between start and end time instances) whether the non-sharable resource is being used by a set of users specified in the schedule data. The non-sharable resource is deallocated from the set of users within the duration if checking determines that the non-sharable resource is not being used by the set of users. Accordingly, the non-sharable resource is made available for allocation before the end time instance.
