The allocation of shareable resources of a computing en- vironment is dynamically adjusted to balance the workload of that envi- ronment. Workload is managed across two or more partitions of a plu- rality of partitions of the computing environment, which are preferably configured as groups of partitions. At least one group of the computing environment includes a plurality of partitions of the computing environ- ment. Shareable resources are assigned to the partitions of the group and are managed as a group. The managing includes dynamically adjusting allocation of a shareable resource of at least one partition of the two or more partitions in order to balance workload goals of the two or more par- titions. One example of this is managing central processing unit (CPU) resources 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. The adjusting includes modifying processor weights associated with the partitions.

L'affectation de ressources partageables dans un environnement informatique est réglée dynamiquement de façon à équilibrer la charge de cet environnement. Ladite charge est gérée par au moins deux partitions d'une pluralité de partitions de l'environnement informatique, configurées de préférence en groupes de partitions. Au moins un groupe de l'environnement informatique comprend une pluralité de partitions de l'environnement informatique. Les ressources partageables sont affectées aux partitions de ce groupe et sont gérées en groupe. La gestion consiste à régler dynamiquement l'affectation d'une ressource partageable d'au moins une partition parmi les partitions, de façon à équilibrer les objectifs de charge de travail desdites partitions. La gestion des ressources d'une unité centrale de traitement (UC) dans un environnement informatique est un exemple de cette gestion. Lorsque l'affectation des ressources UC à une partition d'un environnement informatique doit être réglée, cette affectation est réglée dynamiquement. Le réglage consiste à modifier les poids des processeurs associés aux partitions.
