Abstract: Techniques for managing workloads in processor cores are disclosed. High priority or mission critical workloads may be assigned to processor cores of a processor. When a power limited throttling condition is met, the processor may throttle some of its cores while not throttling the cores with the high priority or mission critical workloads assigned to it. Such an approach can ensure that mission critical workloads continue even upon throttling of the processor cores.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device includes processing circuitry to receive a request to evaluate a plurality of platform configurations for deployment of an application workload on a compute platform, wherein the application workload is to be deployed based on one or more workload requirements; deploy a representative workload on the compute platform based on the plurality of platform configurations, wherein the representative workload is representative of the application workload; obtain performance data for the plurality of platform configurations, wherein the performance data is obtained based on deploying the representative workload on the compute platform; and determine, based on the performance data, whether the plurality of platform configurations satisfy the one or more workload requirements.
