ABSTRACT:
Embodiments include a device and a method. In an embodiment, a device includes a processor having an associated hardware resource and operable to execute an instruction group. The device also includes a resource manager operable to implement a resource management policy for the hardware resource with respect to an execution of the instruction group, the resource management policy responsive to a prediction of a future performance of the hardware resource based at least in part on a historical performance of the hardware resource.
