Abstract

A method, program product, and system is provided for dynamic virtual processor management in a computer having a plurality of concurrent multi-threaded physical processors. A workload is assigned to a first virtual processor manager pool based on a virtual processor manager mode of the first virtual processor manager pool. A current utilization ratio and a response time ratio for the workload are calculated. The workload is dynamically moved to a second virtual processor manager pool based on either the current utilization ratio or the response time ratio exceeding a configurable threshold. The workload is dynamically moved between virtual processor manager pools to realize target performance metric requirements.
