According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for workload processing includes a host having a processor unit and a memory. A scheduler is executable by the processor unit to: receive a request to process a workload; access historical processing data to determine execution statistics associated with previous processing requests; determine whether the data of the workload is available for processing; in response to determining that the data is available for processing, determine whether a process for the workload is available; in response to determining that the process is available, determine resource availability on a computing platform for processing the workload; determine 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, initiate processing of the workload on the computing platform.
