Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of performing a dynamic workload simulation, comprising: initiating, on a processor, a master control driver configured to coordinate the execution of one or more workload drivers on a plurality of logical partitions, wherein each logical partition provides a virtual computing system that operates independently from a collection of physical computing hardware and independently from other logical partitions; initiating, on the processor, the execution of the one or more workload drivers, wherein each respective workload driver is configured to inject a workload into one of the plurality of logical partitions; after initiating the execution of the one or more workload drivers, injecting workloads for each respective workload driver according to an injection rate method, wherein the workload comprises performing a benchmark calculation configured to calculate a measure of performance for the logical partition, for each workload injected into the partition by the respective workload driver; and recording the measure of performance transmitted from each respective workload driver to the master control driver regarding the performance of the workload.
