This chapter teaches you how to use workgroups to optimize system
performance. In particular, it discusses how you can use the Workload
Manager to handle predictable changes in CPU demand, how to
respond to changes in the workload, and how to provide a more consistent
level of service to your users.
The topics in this chapter include:
Scheduling anticipated workload changes
Giving one workgroup improved CPU access
Giving one workgroup degraded CPU access
Creating workgroups for reactive processing
Handling a starving process
Handling a CPU-bound process that impacts other users
Managing the workload to provide more consistent response times
Balancing workload during a system consolidation
