A task processing method includes: acquiring target data and target algorithm required by a target task to be executed; acquiring from a network topology at least one first-type node capable of providing the target data and at least one second-type node capable of executing the target algorithm; selecting, from the at least one first-type node, a node that provides one set of target data as a first target node, and selecting, from the at least one second-type node, a node that provides one set of target algorithm as a second target node; and controlling the second target node to process the target data in the first target node by using the target algorithm.
