Systems and methods for a computing resource broker agent

A method for brokering computing resources, comprising:

• detecting a request to perform a computing task within an operating system of a computing device;
• identifying additional computing resources needed to perform the requested computing task;
• brokering access to the identified computing resources in response to detecting the request;
• and
• providing for performing the requested computing task by use of the identified computing resources.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions configured to cause a computing device to perform a method, comprising:

• monitoring availability of computing resources within an operating system of a computing device;
• detecting a request to execute a computing task on the computing device within the operating system of the computing device;
• comparing the availability of computing resources to computing resources needed to execute the requested computing task;
• identifying additional computing resources needed to execute the requested computing task based on the comparing;
• brokering access to the additional computing resources;
• and
• providing for executing the requested computing task by use of the brokered computing resources.
• brokering access to the identified computing resources from one or more remote resource providers in response to detecting the request;
• and
• providing for performing the requested computing task by use of the identified computing resources.
