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.
