Abstract: A system provisioning resources of a processing unit. The system predicts a performance impact on a workload attributable to a performance constraint of the processing unit for the workload according to a resource model, wherein the workload includes a query and the resource model characterizes attainable compute bandwidth, attainable memory bandwidth, and arithmetic intensity based on peak compute bandwidth and peak memory bandwidth of the processing unit. The system determines a resource allocation of the processing unit, based on the predicted performance impact and instructs the processing unit to allocate the resources for processing the workload based on the determined resource allocation.
