HP-UX WLM provides goal-based workload management. This management enables

automatic resource allocation and application performance management through the use of

prioritized service-level objectives (SLOs). It provides this functionality by automating

features of HP Process Resource Manager (PRM), HP-UX Virtual Partitions, nPartitions, and

processor sets.

HP-UX WLM offers the following features:

• Automatic allocation of CPU resources (cores) to your most critical applications

(allocation of time slices on cores as well as whole cores when managing processor sets,

virtual partitions, or nPartitions)

A core is the actual data-processing engine within a processor, where a single processor

might have multiple cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads; for more

information, see the WLM HP-UX Workload Manager User’s Guide.

• User-configured allocation of real memory and disk bandwidth resources

• Shares-based and goal-based SLOs
