Abstract
A mainframe computing system includes a central processor complex, and a plurality of billing entities, each billing entity having a respective capacity limit, and a workload manager that schedules work requested by the plurality of billing entities on the central processor complex and tracks, by billing entity, a rolling average of service units. The mainframe computing system also includes a dynamic capping policy for the central processor complex that identifies a maximum service unit limit, a subset of the plurality of billing entities, and, for each identified billing entity, information from which to determine a service unit entitlement value. The mainframe computing system also includes a dynamic capping master that adjusts the respective capacity limits of the subset of the plurality of billing entities at scheduled intervals based on the dynamic capping policy to favor billing entities having high-importance workload within the maximum service unit limit.
