Abstract

A partitioned processing system capable of supporting diverse operating system partitions is disclosed wherein throughput information is passed from a partition to a partition resource manager. The throughput information is used to create resource balancing directives for the partitioned resource. The processing system includes at least a first partition and a second partition. A partition resource manager is provided for receiving information about throughput from the second partition and determining resource balancing directives. A communicator communicates the resource balancing directives from the partition manager to a kernel in the second partition which allocates resources to the second partition according to the resource balancing directives received from the partition manager.
