Abstract
The described method/system/apparatus uses intelligence to better allocate tasks/work items among the processors and computers in the cloud. A priority score may be calculated for each task/work unit for each specific processor. The priority score may indicate how well suited a task/work item is for a processor. The result is that tasks/work items may be more efficiently executed by being assigned to processors in the cloud that are better prepared to execute the tasks/work items.
