1. A network of computing devices, wherein at least one computing device of the network of computing devices comprises:

  • one or more processors and one or more memory devices that include computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the at least one computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising;

    identifying a computational task associated with the at least one computing device;

    identifying one or more other computing devices within the network of computing devices that are available to perform at least a portion of the computational task;

    obtaining one or more sets of data associated with one or more computational resources of the one or more other computing devices;

    determining a potential benefit to the at least one computing device associated with the performance of the computational task by the one or more other computing devices;

    determining whether it is cost-effective to have the at least one computing device perform at least the portion of the computational task; and

    determining whether to perform at least the portion of the computational task with the one or more other computing devices based at least in part on the one or more sets of data associated with the one or more computational resources, the potential benefit to the at least one computing device, and the determination as to whether it is cost-effective to have the at least one computing device perform at least the portion of the computational task.
