determining whether a declared priority of a computing job is a minimum priority; in the case that the declared priority of the computing job is a minimum priority, assigning the computing job to at least one computer resource at the declared priority; and in the case that the declared priority of the computing job is not a minimum priority:
determining whether the declared priority of the computing job exceeds a remaining portion of a predetermined declared priority quota of a submitter of the computing job;in the case that the declared priority of the computing job exceeds the remaining portion of the predetermined declared priority quota of the submitter, substituting a reduced priority for the declared priority of the computing job;determining whether the reduced priority of the computing job exceeds a remaining portion of a predetermined reduced priority quota for the submitter of the computing job;in the case that the reduced priority of the computing job does not exceed the remaining portion of the predetermined reduced priority quota of the submitter of the computing job, assigning the computing job to at least one computer resource at the reduced priority; andin the case that the reduced priority of the computing job exceeds the remaining portion of the predetermined reduced priority quota of the submitter of the computing job, assigning the computing job to at least one unused computer resource at an off-quota priority equal to the declared priority.
