A computerized efficient data processing management method for imaging applications first performs a data flow graph generation by computing means using at least one image data and at least one requested task to generate a data flow graph. The method then applies a task execution scheduling using the data flow graph generated, a caching system configuration, the at least one image data and at least one requested task to schedule execution of the at least one requested task to generate task execution output. In addition, an adaptive data processing method performs caching system update and an optimal data processing method further performs data flow graph update.
