A method for computing. In some embodiments, the method includes: calculating an advantage score of a first computing task, the advantage score being a measure of an extent to which a plurality of function in memory circuits is capable of executing the first computing task more efficiently by than one or more extra-memory processing circuits, the first computing task including instructions and data; in response to determining that the advantage score of the first computing task is less than a first threshold, executing the first computing task by the one or more extra-memory processing circuits; and in response to determining that the first computing task is at least equal to the first threshold: compiling the instructions for execution by the function in memory circuits; formatting the data for the function in memory circuits; and executing the first computing task, by the function in memory circuits.
