Method for executing data processing tasks

A method for executing data processing tasks by a data processing system, the method comprising:

• executing a data processing task using a first group of data processing devices of the data processing system, wherein the first group contains at least one data processing device of the data processing system;
• monitoring, when executing the data processing task, a value of a target metric for the execution of the data processing task,
• based on the value of the target metric leaving a first range assigned to the target metric, outsourcing the execution of at least one subtask of the data processing task to a second group of data processing devices;
• and
• based on the value of the target metric after the outsourcing operation entering a second range assigned to the target metric, reversing the outsourcing operation of the execution of the at least one subtask;
• wherein, based on a rate of outsourcing operations and the reversal of the outsourcing operatings violating a specified permissibility criterion, the first range assigned to the target metric is increased and/or the second range assigned to the target metric is decreased.

A data processing system configured to execute data processing tasks by a data processing system, the data processing system configured to:

• execute a data processing task using a first group of data processing devices of the data processing system, wherein the first group contains at least one data processing device of the data processing system;
• monitor, when executing the data processing task, a value of a target metric for the execution of the data processing task,
• based on the value of the target metric leaving a first range assigned to the target metric, outsource the execution of at least one subtask of the data processing task to a second group of data processing devices;
• and
• based on the value of the target metric after the outsourcing operation entering a second range assigned to the target metric, reverse the outsourcing operation of the execution of the at least one subtask;
• wherein, based on a rate of outsourcing operations and the reversal of the outsourcing operatings violating a specified permissibility criterion, the first range assigned to the target metric is increased and/or the second range assigned to the target metric is decreased.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored commands for executing data processing tasks by a data processing system, the commands, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:

• executing a data processing task using a first group of data processing devices of the data processing system, wherein the first group contains at least one data processing device of the data processing system;
• monitoring, when executing the data processing task, a value of a target metric for the execution of the data processing task,
• based on the value of the target metric leaving a first range assigned to the target metric, outsourcing the execution of at least one subtask of the data processing task to a second group of data processing devices;
• and
• based on the value of the target metric after the outsourcing operation entering a second range assigned to the target metric, reversing the outsourcing operation of the execution of the at least one subtask;
• wherein, based on a rate of outsourcing operations and the reversal of the outsourcing operatings violating a specified permissibility criterion, the first range assigned to the target metric is increased and/or the second range assigned to the target metric is decreased.
