This invention describes a computer method for managing tasks where you can't know how much work they'll take until you start them. As a task progresses, the system calculates how much work is left and compares that to the cost of using a computer resource. If the remaining work is high compared to the resource cost, the system prioritizes that task over others to ensure efficient use of computing power.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced machine learning for real-time workload prediction and highly elastic cloud infrastructure. Modern AI could more accurately predict residual complexity and optimize resource allocation in dynamic serverless environments, making this approach more effective today.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
