Claims:WE CLAIM:

1. A computer-implemented method of adaptive configuration for software execution, comprising:
receiving, by one or more hardware processors, first data that reflects a first status of an execution of a software task;
determining, by the one or more hardware processors based on the first data, a first set of configurations to be provided for the execution of the software task, wherein each configuration of the first set of configurations is associated with a weight that reflects a prior status of an execution of the software task when the configuration was provided, and wherein the first set of configurations are ranked based on the weights; and
providing, by the one or more hardware processors based on the ranking, at least one of the first set of configurations for the execution of the software task.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one of the first set of configurations comprises a first configuration and a second configuration, further comprising:
determining, by the one or more hardware processors, a sequence of providing the at least one of the first set of configurations based on the ranking;
providing, by the one or more hardware processors, a first configuration for the execution of the software task based on the sequence;
receiving, by the one or more hardware processors, second data that reflects a second status of the execution of the software task after the first configuration is provided; and
determining, by the one or more hardware processors based on the second data, whether to provide a second configuration for the execution of the software task.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the weight associated with the first configuration is updated based on the second data.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first configuration is associated with a second set of configuration.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
determining, by the one or more hardware processors based on a weight associated with the first configuration, whether the second configuration is to be determined from the second set of configurations.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the weights is associated with a timestamp that indicates a time when the each of the weights is updated.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein if each of the weights associated with the first set of configurations is equal, the at least one of the first set of configurations is provided based on a result of a random function.

8. A system of adaptive configuration for software execution, comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
one or more memory units storing instructions executable by the one or more hardware processors for:
receiving first data that reflects a first status of an execution of a software task;
determining, based on the first data, a first set of configurations to be provided for the execution of the software task, wherein each configuration of the first set of configurations is associated with a weight that reflects a prior status of an execution of the software task when the configuration was provided, and wherein the first set of configurations are ranked based on the weights; and
providing, based on the ranking, at least one of the first set of configurations for the execution of the software task.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the at least one of the first set of configurations comprises a first configuration and a second configuration, further storing the instructions for:
determining a sequence of providing the at least one of the first set of configurations based on the ranking;
providing a first configuration for the execution of the software task based on the sequence;
receiving second data that reflects a second status of the execution of the software task after the first configuration is provided; and
determining, based on the second data, whether to provide a second configuration for the execution of the software task.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the weight associated with the first configuration is updated based on the second data.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the first configuration is associated with a second set of configuration.

12. The system of claim 11, further storing the instructions for:
determining, based on a weight associated with the first configuration, whether the second configuration is to be determined from the second set of configurations.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein each of the weights is associated with a timestamp that indicates a time when the each of the weights is stored and/or updated.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein if each of the weights associated with the first set of configurations is equal, the at least one of the first set of configurations is provided based on a result of a random function.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions to implement a method of adaptive configuration for software execution, the method comprising:
receiving first data that reflects a first status of an execution of a software task;
determining, based on the first data, a first set of configurations to be provided for the execution of the software task, wherein each configuration of the first set of configurations is associated with a weight that reflects a prior status of an execution of the software task when the configuration was provided, and wherein the first set of configurations are ranked based on the weights; and
providing, based on the ranking, at least one of the first set of configurations for the execution of the software task.
