Purpose

The select functions controls which resource is picked from an allocation and it's alternatives. The selection is re-evaluated each time the resource used in the previous time slot becomes unavailable.

Even for non-persistent allocations a change in the resource selection only happens if the resource used in the previous (or next for ASAP tasks) time slot has become unavailable.
