Method for application performance prediction

An apparatus for application performance prediction comprising processing circuits and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuits whereby the apparatus is operative to:

• measure hardware performances of subroutines of a plurality of benchmarking applications executed on a plurality of hardware flavors;
• generate hardware performance profiles for the subroutines, each hardware performance profile being associated with a subroutine, a hardware flavor and a measured hardware performance;
• receive a performance prediction request for an application;
• predict the application performance on at least one hardware flavor, based on the hardware performance profiles corresponding to a plurality of subroutines of the application;
• and
• provide the performance prediction for the application on each of the at least one hardware flavor.

A non-transitory computer readable media having stored thereon instructions for application performance prediction, the instructions comprising:

• measuring hardware performances of subroutines of a plurality of benchmarking applications executed on a plurality of hardware flavors;
• generating hardware performance profiles for the subroutines, each hardware performance profile being associated with a subroutine, a hardware flavor and a measured hardware performance;
• receiving a performance prediction request for an application;
• predicting the application performance on at least one hardware flavor, based on the hardware performance profiles corresponding to a plurality of subroutines of the application;
• and
• providing the performance prediction for the application on each of the at least one hardware flavor.
