Customizing computing resources for application workload

A computer implemented method, comprising:

• executing an application on a first stack of resources that includes at least one computing device, the at least one computing device configured according to one or more specifications provided by a customer;
• gathering trace information on the first stack of resources, the trace information being associated with a workload processed by the application;
• analyzing the trace information to determine components associated with, but unused by, the workload processed by the application;
• determining one or more modifications based at least in part on the components in order to meet at least one performance parameter when processing the workload by the application;
• determining an optimized instruction sequence based at least in part on the one or more modifications;
• and
• determining, based at least in part on the optimized instruction sequence, a kernel for a second stack of resources that includes at least the one or more modifications for executing the application, the one or more modifications in the kernel at least excluding code for allowing the application to interact with the components.

A computing system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to:
• obtain, in response to a request to execute an application, runtime data associated with a workload to be processed by the application, the application being executed on a first set of resources to process the workload at runtime, the first set of resources configured according to one or more specifications provided by a customer;
• analyze the runtime data to determine unused resources associated with, but not needed, for processing the workload;
• determine one or more modifications for the first set of resources or a configuration of the first set of resources based at least in part on the unused resources to meet at least one performance parameter when processing the workload by the application;
• determine an optimized instruction sequence based at least in part on the one or more modifications;
• and
• provide, based at least in part on the optimized instruction sequence, a kernel for a second set of resources that includes at least the one or more modifications or the configuration the one or more modifications in the kernel at least excluding code for allowing the application to interact with the unused resources.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:

• obtaining runtime trace information, the runtime trace information being associated with a workload processed by an application executed on a first stack of resources;
• analyzing the runtime trace information to determine components associated with, but not used by, the workload processed by the application;
• determining one or more modifications to the first stack of resources or to a configuration of the first stack of resources in order to meet at least one performance parameter when processing the workload by the application;
• determining an optimized instruction sequence based at least in part on the one or more modifications;
• and
• creating, based at least in part on the optimized instruction sequence, a kernel for a second stack of resources that includes at least the one or more modifications for executing the application, the one or more modifications in the kernel at least excluding code for allowing the application to interact with the components.
