Processing an input command using conditional distributed execution

A computing device comprising a processor and a memory and being configured for exchanging information with a computer network, the memory storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to perform a method of processing an input command, the method comprising:

• in response to receiving a trigger signal configured to cause the computing device to process the input command, performing a processing routine comprising:
• in response to determining that the input command shall be processed using distributed execution:
• instantiating a first virtual processing entity within the computer network;
• triggering an execution of the input command using the first virtual processing entity, the execution resulting in a resulting output;
• receiving the resulting output from the computer network;
• and
• providing the resulting output.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor of a computing device configured for exchanging information with a computer network, wherein execution of the program instructions by the processor causes the computing device to perform a method of processing an input command, the method comprising:

• in response to receiving a trigger signal configured to cause the computing device to process the input command, performing a processing routine comprising:
• in response to determining that the input command shall be processed using distributed execution:
• instantiating a first virtual processing entity within the computer network;
• triggering an execution of the input command using the first virtual processing entity, the execution resulting in a resulting output;
• receiving the resulting output from the computer network;
• and
• providing the resulting output.
