Abstract

A computer partitioner provides services to several partitions coexisting in a computer at one time. To operate efficiently, certain applications executing within a partition will intermittently require specific services to be delivered to them in a timely fashion. This disclosure provides a mechanism for a computer partitioner to provide special time dependent services to partitions on a dynamic demand basis.
