Abstract

A method for enhancing a workload manager for a computer system includes sampling and storing usage of a resource of the computer system as resource usage values, comparing said resource usage values with predetermined performance goal values, assigning a time-stamped priority value to an application that is running based on at least one of the performance goal values by the workload manager, retrieving a portion of the resource usage values and a related portion of the performance goal values for the application, identifying a future workload demand value by applying a time-series analysis algorithm to the resource usage values and the performance goal values for the application resulting in workload demand time frames and related amplitudes of the workload demand time frames, and adjusting a dispatch priority value for the application by setting a minimum dispatch priority for the application based on the future workload demand value.
