Abstract
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for dynamically scheduling algorithms in a pipeline which operate on a stream of data. The illustrative embodiments determine a computational cost of each algorithm in a plurality of algorithms in a pipeline. The plurality of algorithms in the pipeline processes an incoming data stream in a first sequential algorithm order. The illustrative embodiments reorder the plurality of algorithms in the pipeline to form a second sequential algorithm order based on the computational cost of each algorithm. The plurality of algorithms may then be executed in the second sequential algorithm order. When the illustrative embodiments assign a spare processing unit to an algorithm at an end of the pipeline, the computational cost of each algorithm in the plurality of algorithms in the pipeline is redetermined.
