Float Queue
n Float Queue
q 15% of the total trials
m When a platform has no more trials to distribute to it’s node servers the Block Queue is set at 100% complete
m This platform is then at Float status and will receive the trial numbers to process directly from the Grid Server one at a time as node servers become idle
m All other platforms that reach this level will also receive their trial numbers directly from the Grid Server until the Float queue has been completed
