Abstract

A workload associated with a task is assessed with respect to each of a plurality of computing paradigms offered by a cloud computing environment. Adaptive learning is employed by maintaining a table of Q-values corresponding to the computing paradigms and the workload is distributed according to a ratio of Q-values. The Q-values may be adjusted responsive to a performance metric and/or a value, reward, and/or decay function. The workload is then assigned to available computing paradigms to be performed with improved utilization of resources.
