1. A computing device comprising: an interface configured to interface and communicate with a dispersed or distributed storage network (DSN); memory that stores operational instructions; and a processing module operably coupled to the interface and to the memory, wherein the processing module, when operable within the computing device based on the operational instructions, is configured to: receive distributed computing data via the DSN; receive a distributed computing request that includes a trigger pattern via the DSN; identify a portion of the distributed computing data; execute a distributed computing task on the portion of the distributed computing data based on the distributed computing request to generate a partial result; determine whether the partial result compares favorably to the trigger pattern of the distributed computing request; when the partial result compares favorably to the trigger pattern of the distributed computing request, dispersed error encode (DSE) the partial result to generate sets of encoded data slices (EDSs) to be stored within a plurality of storage units (SUs) of the DSN; and when the partial result compares unfavorably to the trigger pattern of the distributed computing request, facilitate execution of at least one other distributed computing task on at least one of the partial result, the portion of the distributed computing data, or another portion of the distributed computing data via the DSN.
