Claim 19:
20. A computer program product for enhancing a workload manager for a computer system having limited resources, said computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, said program instructions being executable by one or more computing systems or controllers to cause said one or more computing systems to:
store a usage of a resource of said computer system as time-stamped resource usage values;
compare said time-stamped resource usage values with predetermined time-stamped performance goal values;
assign a time-stamped priority value to an application that is running based on at least one of said time-stamped performance goal values;
identify a future workload demand value by applying a time-series analysis algorithm to at least some of said time-stamped resource usage values and a corresponding at least some of said time-stamped performance goal values for said application resulting in workload demand time frames and related amplitudes of workload demand time frames;
adjust a dispatch priority value for said application by setting a minimum dispatch priority value for said application based on said future workload demand value; and
grant usage of the resource to said application prior to granting usage of the resource to another application with a lower dispatch priority value.
