Embodiments include a device, and a method. In an embodiment, a device includes a microengine operatively coupled with a processor having an instruction set. The microengine includes a microengine operable gather data in a manner transparent to software executing on the processor and corresponding to a runtime execution of at least a portion of the instruction set by the processor. The microengine is also operable to create a runtime-based optimization profile utilizing the gathered dynamic data and which is useable in a subsequent execution of the at least of a portion of the instruction set by the processor.
