1. A method comprising:

  • determining if one of committed resources and dedicated resources in a compute environment comprising multiple separate compute servers that are connected via a network exceeds a threshold value for a first workload to be processed under a first reservation, to yield a determination, wherein each separate compute server comprises a central processing unit; and

    if the determination is yes;

    (1) preempting processing of the first workload in the compute environment by performing a power state reduction action associated with the first workload; and

    (2) based on the power state reduction action, adjusting a second reservation associated with a second workload that differs from the first workload, wherein adjusting the second reservation comprises changing the second reservation from a first server to second server in the compute environment.
