Abstract
The present disclosure relates to offloading computing tasks from a user device to a cloud service. In one embodiment, a method generally includes generating, based on user input, a command for processing by the cloud service. The user device ranks the user device and one or more peer devices in a network based on at least one of information about the user device and one or more peer devices and information about the generated command from the user device and the peer devices, and the user device selects one or more of the user device and the peer devices to transmit the command based on the ranking information. Upon determining that the user device is one of the selected devices, the user device transmits the command to the cloud service. If the user device is not one of the selected devices, the user device discards the generated command.
