Abstract
A method for implementing scheduling mechanisms with selectable resource modes comprises at least one resource characterization set that includes a plurality of resource characterizations that each have resource requirements for executing a requested process. The plurality of resource characterizations may include a most mode, a best mode, and a worst mode. An allocation manager may then select a resource mode, and compare the corresponding resource requirements for the requested process to the currently-available device resources. The allocation manager may then authorize or deny the requested process depending upon whether the currently-available resources are sufficient to adequately service the resource requirements of the requested process.
