Adaptive cellular network computing platform with scalable execution nodes

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a cellular network station, a job request via a user interface (UI) of a computing system configured to communicate with the cellular network station, wherein the job request comprises data that specifies one or more compute functions to be executed for a job and a scheduled time for execution of the job;
• storing, by the UI, in memory of the computing system, the job request with the data;
• retrieving, by the computing system, from the memory, the job request and the data;
• inserting the job, associated with the job request, in a job queue so as to be executed by the scheduled time;
• and
• determining, by the computing system, based on one or more metric values associated with a plurality of jobs in the job queue, one of to expand or reduce a number of execution nodes activated to execute the one or more compute functions of the plurality of jobs in the job queue.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processing devices of a computing system, causes the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a cellular network station, a job request via a user interface (UI) of the computing system configured to communicate with the cellular network station, wherein the job request comprises data that specifies one or more compute functions to be executed for a job and a scheduled time for execution of the job;
• storing, by the UI, in memory, the job request with the data;
• retrieving, from the memory, the job request and the data;
• inserting the job, associated with the job request, in a job queue so as to be executed by the scheduled time;
• and
• determining, based on one or more metric values associated with a plurality of jobs in the job queue, one of to expand or reduce a number of execution nodes activated to execute the one or more compute functions of the plurality of jobs in the job queue.
