  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT RESOURCES OF A LOGICALLY PARTITIONED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT SHARED MEMORY ACCESS
    Publication number: 20080215846
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing CPU resources of a logically partitioned computing environment without shared memory access. A logical partition needing additional resources sends a message requesting such resources to a central domain manager, which sends messages to other partitions in the same group requesting that they assess their ability to donate resources to the requesting partition. Upon receiving such assessment request, each logical partition assesses its ability to donate resources to the requesting partition and responds accordingly to the domain manager. If at least one partition responds that it can donate resources to the requesting partition, the domain manager sends a message to a selected donor partition requesting that it reconfigure itself to donate resources to the requesting partition.
