1. A method of improving responsiveness of analytical workflow runtimes comprising: observing analytical workflow patterns of one or more users to gather statistics; predicting a plurality of analytical workflows and parameter values likely to be requested in future based on the observations according to a compilation policy; applying a parameter generation policy and preparing the plurality of analytical workflows predicted according to the compilation policy, wherein an active precomputation service module uses the parameter generation policy to speculatively select a set of parameter values for the plurality of analytical workflows predicted, wherein the parameter generation policy comprises: random generation, wherein the set of parameter values is selected from combinations of parameters at random; frequency weighted generation, wherein the set of parameter values is selected with a random weight derived from the frequency with which a given parameter set has been observed before; and top frequency generation, wherein the set of parameter values is selected based purely on the frequency with which they have been deployed; and deploying the plurality of analytical workflows prepared and executing the plurality of analytical workflows deployed according to a deployment policy.
