An embodiment includes a method for use in managing a system comprising one or more computers, each computer comprising at least one hardware processor coupled to at least one memory, the method comprising a computer-implemented manager: generating a potential configuration for hardware resources of the system; determining whether the potential configuration satisfies accuracy and time constraints for a selected machine learning model; if the potential configuration satisfies the constraints, indicating the potential configuration to be the optimal configuration for the system; and if the potential configuration does not satisfy the constraints, adapting the potential configuration to satisfy the constraints. The adapting may comprise repeating the generating and determining steps. The adapting may be based at least in part on the hardware resources and the selected machine learning model.
