Systems and methods to process a request received at an application program interface

A method to process a request, the method comprising:

• receiving, over a network, a request from a client machine, the request comprising a job that is associated with data, the request received at an application program interface;
• generating a plurality of sub-jobs based on the job, the plurality of sub-jobs respectively comprising at least one task that corresponds to a portion of the data, the generating performed by a processing node in a peer-to-peer network of processing nodes;
• scheduling the plurality of sub-jobs for parallel processing based on an availability of resources that are respectively utilized by the sub-jobs, the scheduling performed by a processing node in a peer-to-peer network of processing nodes;
• and
• parallel processing the sub-jobs with a plurality of processors to generate task results that are respectively associated with the plurality of sub-jobs, the parallel processing performed by at least one processing node in the peer-to-peer network of processing nodes.

A machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the following actions:

• receive, over a network, a request from a client machine, the request comprising a job that is associated with data, the request received at an application program interface;
• generate a plurality of sub-jobs based on the job, the plurality of sub-jobs respectively comprising at least one task that corresponds to a portion of the data;
• schedule the plurality of sub-jobs for parallel processing based on an availability of resources that are respectively utilized by the sub-jobs;
• and
• parallel process the sub-jobs with a plurality of processors to generate task results that are respectively associated with the sub-jobs.
