requires
A task requires some amount of processing power of a resource when this amount must be made available for the execution of the task. The resource requirement is considered as renewable which means that whenever the tasks ends the processing power that was required is still available for processing other tasks. Note that a minimal amount of 0 is possible thus allowing modelisation of alternative resources. The type of resource requirement can be defined in several ways:
- By specifying a resource and a constant requirement parameter 'requirement'. In this case the resource requirement is constant other the execution of the task.
- By specifying a resource and a minimal 'minReq' and maximal 'maxReq' requirement parameters: In this case the resource requirement is a decision variable but is constant other the execution of the task.
- By specifying a cpresusage 'usage' (see resusage for further detail).
- By a set of alternative cpresusage 'optUsages': This makes it possible to model alternative resources. The type of resource requirement is defined by the resource usage passed in argument (see resusage for further detail).
- By a set of alternative cpresusage 'optUsages', a minimal 'minalt' and a maximal 'maxalt' number of alternative resources that are required: Between [minalt..maxalt] alternative requirements from the set will be active which means that several resources will be chosen as requirements by the task. The type of resource requirement is defined by the resource usage passed in argument (see resusage for further detail).
