Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for dynamic management of thermal load in a data processing system are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A component of the data processing system is identified whose temperature has reached a temperature threshold, the component forming a critical component. A workload is selected from a set of workloads that is using the critical component. The workload is modified such that work performed by the critical component is reduced, the modifying further causing the temperature of the critical component to reduce below the temperature threshold. A power consumption of a cooling system associated with the thermal zone is reduced responsive to the temperature reducing below the temperature threshold.
