1. A method of processing a request for resources within a compute environment, the method comprising: receiving the request for resources, wherein the request comprises a credential that places a limit on use of the compute environment; generating a credential map for the credential that indicates reserved resources and consumed resources at given time frames; generating a resource availability map for the credential map that identifies times and resources that are available independent of any policy; generating a composite intersecting map that intersects the resource availability map with the credential map; selecting a time frame for reserving resources for the request based on the composite intersecting map; and reserving resources within the compute environment for the request based on the time frame and the composite intersecting map.
