Thread scheduling using processing engine information

A method comprising:

• monitoring, by a guide unit of a processor, execution characteristics of processing engines (PEs) and threads of the processor;
• generating, by the guide unit, a plurality of PE rankings, each PE ranking including the plurality of processing engines in a particular order;
• and
• storing the plurality of PE rankings in a memory to be provided to a scheduler, the scheduler to schedule the threads on the plurality of PEs using the plurality of PE rankings.

A system comprising:

• a processor comprising a plurality of processing engines and a guide logic, the guide logic to:
• monitor events of a first processing engine during execution of a first thread;
• based on the monitored events, generate at least one predicted characteristic of a second processing engine;
• and
• store the at least one predicted characteristic of the second processing engine in a memory to be provided to a scheduler, the scheduler to determine whether to allocate the first thread to the second processing engine based on the at least one predicted characteristic of the second processing engine;
• and
• a system memory coupled to the processor.
