1. A method, comprising: receiving a request to process a workload by a scheduler executing on a processor unit; accessing historical processing data by the scheduler to determine execution statistics associated with previous processing requests; determining whether the data of the workload is available for processing; in response to determining that the data is available for processing, determining whether a process for the workload is available; in response to determining that the process is available, determining resource availability on a computing platform for processing the workload; determining whether excess capacity is available on the computing platform based on the resource availability and the execution statistics; and in response to determining that excess capacity exists on the computing platform, initiating processing of the workload on the computing platform.
