RESOURCE PREDICTION FOR CLOUD COMPUTING

摘要

The invention relates to a method for predicting an allocation of processing resources provided by a cloud computing module (230) to process a data set based on a predefined processing task. Input parameters are detected, the input parameters containing information about at least the data set to be processed by the cloud computing module and the processing task to be carried out on the data set. A model is selected from a plurality of different models provided in a model database (130), each model providing a relationship between the data set processing task and a predicted allocation of the processing resources. The allocation of the processing resources is predicted based on the selected model and based on the input parameters.
