Abstract
A computer system determines an optimal hardware system environment for a given set of workloads by allocating functionality from each workload to logical partitions, where each logical partition includes resource demands, assigning a priority weight factor to each resource demand, configuring potential hardware system environments, where each potential hardware system environment provides resource capacities, and computing a weighted sum of least squares metric for each potential hardware system environment.
