Abstract
A mainframe computing system hosts a plurality of logical partitions, each having a static entitlement of processing capacity. The mainframe computer system has a workload manager that schedules work requested by the logical partitions and tracks consumption of the processing capacity by the logical partitions, and a capping policy that is stored in non-transitory memory and which identifies a subset of the logical partitions. The mainframe computer system further includes a capping master that is configured to allocate dynamically varying entitlements of processing capacity to the subset of the logical partitions based on the high-importance work percentages of computing workloads running on the logical partitions to encourage completion of high-importance work over completion of low-importance work. The capping master limits the allocated dynamically entitlement amount in millions of service units per hour (MSU) for each system usage entity to be no greater than the static entitlement of the system usage entity.
