/**
* @file frsh_spare_capacity.h
* There are no specific negotiation calls because the algorithms used
* in the core module take already these min-max ranges into account.
*
+ * An operation is available for applications to ask for a stability
+ * period of a specified length. The framework will then return the
+ * total capacity (execution time budget and virtual resource period)
+ * that the application is guaranteed to receive in this stability
+ * period. The rationale for this service is that jobs may span a
+ * number of virtual resource periods, and need to have a guaranteed
+ * amount of capacity before they can choose a higher quality (longer
+ * execution time) method, when multiple methods are available. Also
+ * applications may require that the capacity provided to them and
+ * hence the quality of results produced remains consistent for a
+ * period of time, so that consistent behaviour is provided for the
+ * user (e.g. multimedia applications).
+ *
+ * Requesting a new stability period has the effect of cancelling any
+ * previous one. So a subsequent request for stability up to the same
+ * point in time could return a lower total capacity, if spare capacity
+ * re-allocation is in progress due to the admission of a new
+ * application. If a stability period expires without having explicitly
+ * set a new one, the system may decide to perform a reallocation of
+ * spare resources at that point, or may defer this decision to some
+ * future point in time when it is appropriate. In both cases, a new
+ * stability period will start when the new spare capacity assignment
+ * is in effect.
+ *
+ *
* NOTE: When we talk here about "spare capacity" we mean STATIC extra
* capacity at NEGOTIATION TIME. This is the minimum capacity
* that the vres will get based on contract negotiation.
* awakening and replenishment periods.
* @param granularity FRSH_CONTINUOUS: Use min-max values,
* FRSH_DISCRETE: Use utilization_set.
- * @param utilization_set A structure of discrete pairs (budget,period)
+ * @param utilization_set A structure of discrete triples (budget,
+ * period, deadline)
* @param importance non-cooperative urgency indicator. Vres with
* higher importance will get all spare capacity des
* @param weight cooperative urgency indicator. At equal
* importance, spare capacity will be distributed
* proportionally to weight levels.
*
+ *
* @return 0 if successful \n
* FRSH_ERR_BAD_ARGUMENT : if contract is NULL \b or \n
