Abstract
The present disclosure provides modular electronic devices that are capable of predicting future availability of module combinations and associated computing resources and/or capable of predicting future tasks. Based on such predictions, the module or modular electronic device can choose to schedule or delay certain tasks, alter resource negotiation behavior/strategy, or select from among various different resource providers. As an example, a modular electronic device of the present disclosure can identify one or more computing tasks to be performed; predict one or more future sets of computing resources that will be respectively available to the modular electronic device at one or more future time periods; and determine a schedule for performance of the one or more computing tasks based at least in part on the prediction of the one or more future sets of computing resources that will be respectively available at the one or more future time periods.
