To reduce latency and energy consumption of edge computing, deep learning is used to learn the task offloading strategies by interacting with the entities. In actual application scenarios, users of edge computing are always changing dynamically. However, the existing task offloading strategies cannot be applied to such dynamic scenarios. To solve this problem, we propose a novel dynamic task offloading framework for distributed edge computing, leveraging the potential of meta-reinforcement learning (MRL). Our approach formulates a multi-objective optimization problem aimed at minimizing both delay and energy consumption. We model the task offloading strategy using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Furthermore, we propose a distributed edge computing adaptive task offloading algorithm rooted in MRL. This algorithm integrates multiple Markov decision processes (MDP) with a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network, enabling it to learn and adapt task offloading strategies responsively across diverse network environments. To achieve joint optimization of delay and energy consumption, we incorporate the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) into our framework. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed solution, achieving a 21% reduction in time delay and a 19% decrease in energy consumption compared to alternative task offloading schemes. Moreover, our scheme exhibits remarkable adaptability, responding swiftly to changes in various network environments.展开更多

文摘The number of satellites,especially those operating in Low-Earth Orbit(LEO),has been exploding in recent years.Additionally,the burgeoning development of Artificial Intelligence(AI)software and hardware has opened up new industrial opportunities in both air and space,with satellite-powered computing emerging as a new computing paradigm:Orbital Edge Computing(OEC).Compared to terrestrial edge computing,the mobility of LEO satellites and their limited communication,computation,and storage resources pose challenges in designing task-specific scheduling algorithms.Previous survey papers have largely focused on terrestrial edge computing or the integration of space and ground technologies,lacking a comprehensive summary of OEC architecture,algorithms,and case studies.This paper conducts a comprehensive survey and analysis of OEC's system architecture,applications,algorithms,and simulation tools,providing a solid background for researchers in the field.By discussing OEC use cases and the challenges faced,potential research directions for future OEC research are proposed.

文摘Graph computing has become pervasive in many applications due to its capacity to represent complex relationships among different objects in the big data era.However,general-purpose architectures are computationally inefficient for graph algorithms,and dedicated architectures can provide high efficiency,but lack flexibility.To address these challenges,this paper proposes ParaGraph,a reduced instruction set computing-five(RISC-V)-based software-hardware co-designed graph computing accelerator that can process graph algorithms in parallel,and also establishes a performance evaluation model to assess the efficiency of co-acceleration.ParaGraph handles parallel processing of typical graph algorithms on the hardware side,while performing overall functional control on the software side with custom designed instructions.ParaGraph is verified on the XCVU440 field-programmable gate array(FPGA)board with E203,a RISC-V processor.Compared with current mainstream graph computing accelerators,ParaGraph consumes 7.94%less block RAM(BRAM)resources than ThunderGP.Its power consumption is reduced by 86.90%,24.90%,and 76.38%compared with ThunderGP,HitGraph,and GraphS,respectively.The power efficiency of connected components(CC)and degree centrality(DC)algorithms is improved by an average of 6.50 times over ThunderGP,2.51 times over HitGraph,and 3.99 times over GraphS.The software-hardware co-design acceleration performance indicators H/W.Cap for CC and DC are 13.02 and 14.02,respectively.
文摘In the field of cloud computing, topics such as computing resource virtualization, differences between grid and cloud computing, relationship between high-performance computers and cloud computing centers, and cloud security and standards have attracted much research interest. This paper analyzes these topics and highlights that resource virtualization allows information services to be scalable, intensive, and specialized; grid computing involves using many computers for large-scale computing tasks, while cloud computing uses one platform for multiple services; high-performance computers may not be suitable for a cloud computing; security in cloud computing focuses on trust management between service suppliers and users; and based on the existing standards, standardization of cloud computing should focus on interoperability between services.

文摘As an important complement to cloud computing, edge computing can effectively reduce the workload of the backbone network. To reduce latency and energy consumption of edge computing, deep learning is used to learn the task offloading strategies by interacting with the entities. In actual application scenarios, users of edge computing are always changing dynamically. However, the existing task offloading strategies cannot be applied to such dynamic scenarios. To solve this problem, we propose a novel dynamic task offloading framework for distributed edge computing, leveraging the potential of meta-reinforcement learning (MRL). Our approach formulates a multi-objective optimization problem aimed at minimizing both delay and energy consumption. We model the task offloading strategy using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Furthermore, we propose a distributed edge computing adaptive task offloading algorithm rooted in MRL. This algorithm integrates multiple Markov decision processes (MDP) with a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network, enabling it to learn and adapt task offloading strategies responsively across diverse network environments. To achieve joint optimization of delay and energy consumption, we incorporate the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) into our framework. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed solution, achieving a 21% reduction in time delay and a 19% decrease in energy consumption compared to alternative task offloading schemes. Moreover, our scheme exhibits remarkable adaptability, responding swiftly to changes in various network environments.

文摘The rise of large-scale artificial intelligence(AI)models,such as ChatGPT,Deep-Seek,and autonomous vehicle systems,has significantly advanced the boundaries of AI,enabling highly complex tasks in natural language processing,image recognition,and real-time decisionmaking.However,these models demand immense computational power and are often centralized,relying on cloud-based architectures with inherent limitations in latency,privacy,and energy efficiency.To address these challenges and bring AI closer to real-world applications,such as wearable health monitoring,robotics,and immersive virtual environments,innovative hardware solutions are urgently needed.This work introduces a near-sensor edge computing(NSEC)system,built on a bilayer AlN/Si waveguide platform,to provide real-time,energy-efficient AI capabilities at the edge.Leveraging the electro-optic properties of AlN microring resonators for photonic feature extraction,coupled with Si-based thermo-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometers for neural network computations,the system represents a transformative approach to AI hardware design.Demonstrated through multimodal gesture and gait analysis,the NSEC system achieves high classification accuracies of 96.77%for gestures and 98.31%for gaits,ultra-low latency(<10 ns),and minimal energy consumption(<0.34 pJ).This groundbreaking system bridges the gap between AI models and real-world applications,enabling efficient,privacy-preserving AI solutions for healthcare,robotics,and next-generation human-machine interfaces,marking a pivotal advancement in edge computing and AI deployment.
