Abstract
Central processing unit (CPU) resources are managed within a computing environment. When the allocation of CPU resources to a partition of the computing environment is to be adjusted, the allocation is adjusted dynamically. This dynamic adjustment is across at least two partitions of the computing environment. The adjusting includes modifying processor weights associated with the partitions.
Claims34
A method of managing central processing unit (CPU) resources within a computing environment, said method comprising:
- determining that an allocation of CPU resources to a partition of said computing environment is to be adjusted;
- and
- dynamically adjusting said allocation across said partition and another of said computing environment,
- wherein said dynamically adjusting is in response to workload goals of at least said partition.
A system of managing central processing unit (CPU) resources within a computing environment, said system comprising:
- means for determining that an allocation of CPU resources to a partition and another partition of said computing environment,
- wherein said means for dynamically adjusting is in response to workload goals of at least said partition.
A system of managing central processing unit (CPU) resources to a partition computing environment, said system comprising:
- a processor adapted to determine that an allocation of CPU resources to a partition of said computing environment is to be adjusted;
- and
- a processor adapted to dynamically adjust said allocation across said partition and another partition of said computing environment.
At least one program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method of managing central processing unit (CPU) resources within a computing environment, said method comprising:
- determining that an allocation of CPU resources to a partition of said computing environment is to be adjusted;
- and
- dynamically adjusting said allocation across said partition and anther partition of said computing environment,
- wherein said dynamically adjusting is in response to workload goals of at least said partition.
