Abstract
A collaborative workload management system comprises a workload scheduler cooperable with a schedule to submit work units for processing on a computer system according to the schedule; and a workload manager adapted to monitor work units being submitted for processing and to allocate resources for processing respective work units on the computer system according to a respective service class of the work units. The workload scheduler further provides the workload manager with work unit attributes as each work unit is submitted for processing, the attributes comprising at least one indicator of the resources typically required by the work unit. The workload manager retrieves the work unit attributes and tunes the resources required to process the work unit according to the work unit's attributes without exceeding the resources allowed for processing work units of the work unit's service class.
