Abstract: A method, apparatus, device and medium for executing tasks in a computing system are provided in the present disclosure. The computing system comprises a first computing node and a plurality of second computing nodes, available duration of the first computing node is known, and the available duration of the plurality of second computing nodes is unknown. A task manager is started at the first computing node, the task manager being used to manage a plurality of tasks to be executed in the computing system. The task manager requests a set of second computing nodes in the plurality of second computing nodes to the computing system. The task manager distributes a target task in the plurality of tasks to the set of second computing nodes so as to execute the target task by using the set of second computing nodes.
