Abstract

Provided are techniques for multiple stage workload management. A staging queue and a run queue are provided. A workload is received. In response to determining that application resources are not available and that the workload has not been previously semi-started, the workload is added to the staging queue. In response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started, and, in response to determining that run resources are available, the workload is started. In response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started, and, in response to determining that the run resources are not available, adding the workload to the run queue.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
providing, using a processor of a computer, a multiple staging queues and multiple run queues, wherein each of the multiple staging queues has a different priority, wherein each of the multiple run queues has a different priority, and wherein, any workload that is to be moved from one of the multiple staging queues having a priority is moved to one of the multiple run queues having a same priority;
receiving a workload;
in response…
