Abstract
A computer-implemented method for dynamic workload bucket reassignment in a system processor includes grouping a plurality of like workloads together via a common workload attribute. The processor calculates an aggregate use of a resource across all of the workloads, and creates a finite number of buckets. The processor then assigns a target resource use for each of the finite number of buckets, and assigns workloads with a same workload attribute value to a bucket of the finite number of buckets. The workload attribute values are distributed across a plurality of the finite number of buckets such that each bucket has a unique nonintersecting range and an aggregate workload resource use in each bucket near a bucket target resource use.
