1. A processor comprising:
resource allocation circuitry to allocate a plurality of hardware resources to a plurality of workloads including priority workloads associated with one or more guaranteed performance levels; and
monitoring circuitry to evaluate execution progress of a workload across a plurality of nodes, each node to execute one or more processing stages of the workload, wherein the monitoring circuitry is to evaluate the execution progress of the workload, at least in part, by reading progress markers advertised by the workload at the specified processing stages,
wherein the monitoring circuitry is to detect that the workload may not meet one of the guaranteed performance levels based on the progress markers, and
wherein the resource allocation circuitry, responsive to the monitoring circuitry, is to reallocate one or more of the plurality of hardware resources to improve the performance level of the workload.
