Display of the running total of account usage
When displaying the running total of the usage for a single account along with the "Allocation target" the usage histogram displays how an account deviates from its target share over the period displayed. The values in this view are the cumulative sum across days from "total" summation view for both the usage and allocation target. When an account is submitting jobs that request more than the account’s target share it is expected that the usage cumulative sum will oscillate above and below the target share cumulative sum if the scheduler is managing fair share properly. Because the scheduler uses a decay period for the impact of past usage, a good interval to use to inspect the scheduler’s performance in maintaining the account's fair share is to display the past 30 days.
