Abstract
The use of linear programming may enable the achievement of real-time task execution prioritization. A linear model may be constructed based at least on a set of computing tasks, a linearly expressible goal for the set of computing tasks, one or more linear resource constraints, and one or more computing task dependencies. The linear model is then used to calculate a shadow price for each of a plurality of resource time prediction constraints, in which each shadow price may represent a priority value for a corresponding computing task. When a computing resource becomes available, a computing task with a highest priority value that is able to use the computing resource may be executed.
