Abstract:
One or more measurements of processor utilization are taken. A utilization ceiling is calculated. One or more processing units (PUs) are added automatically if it is determined that the utilization ceiling is greater than an available PU capacity. One or more PUs are removed automatically responsive to determining that the utilization ceiling is at least one PU less than the available PU capacity.
