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

Although new progress has continuously been made in the exploration of turbidite reservoirs in the Shengtuo area in recent years, due to the influence of multi-stage tectonic movements and paleogeomorphology in this area, the sedimentary types of turbidite reservoirs are diverse, the distribution of sedimentary systems and lithology are complex, and there is a lack of effective seismic description means, making it difficult to effectively predict turbidite reservoirs. In this paper, the prediction accuracy of turbidite reservoirs in the Shengtuo area is taken as the research objective using the QC model. Various factors affecting the prediction accuracy of turbidite reservoirs are systematically and comprehensively analyzed, and three main causes are identified: unclear division of sedimentary facies belts, unconfirmed sand body boundaries, and inaccurate reservoir thickness prediction. On this basis, through comprehensive analysis of logging, well logging, seismic and other data, corresponding solutions are formulated to clarify the sedimentary system types, distribution patterns and main controlling factors of reservoir development in this area, and methods and technical processes for effective identification, boundary confirmation and thickness seismic prediction of turbidite reservoirs affected by calcareous rocks are summarized and formed. After the implementation of this method, the coincidence rate of turbidite reservoir prediction has increased to 86.7%, and the prediction accuracy of reservoir thickness has reached 81.1%. Thus, the exploration and development benefits of turbidite oil and gas reservoirs in the Shengtuo area are effectively improved.展开更多
