Abstract
A mechanism is provided for allocating energy budgets to a plurality of logical partitions. An overall energy budget for the data processing system and a total of a set of requested initial energy budgets for the plurality of partitions are determined. A determination is made as to whether the total of the set of requested initial energy budgets for the plurality of partitions is greater than the overall energy budget for the data processing system. Responsive to the total of the set of requested initial energy budgets exceeding the overall energy budget, an initial energy budget is allocated to each partition in the plurality of partitions based on at least one of priority or proportionality of each partition in the plurality of partitions such that a total of the initial energy budgets for the plurality of partitions does not exceed the overall energy budget of the data processing system.
