system-wide there is more computation to perform than the processor is capable of sustaining over the long term). During overload, the AP scheduler enforces hard limits on total run-time for the subsystems within a partition, as dictated by the allocated percentage of processor bandwidth for the particular partition.
In complex systems, the workload often surpasses the processor's capacity over an extended period. When this happens, the AP scheduler sets strict time limits for each component within a partition, determined by the assigned percentage of processor bandwidth for that partition.
