Adaptive computation at the tactical edge using a proactive resource allocator for reduced latencies

摘要

Here we compare the latency performance of active and passive offloading decisions pathways which we use with our adaptive computing engine. The passive pathway will query nodes for offloading after a job has been submitted, while the active pathway will query system information before jobs are submitted to create an offloading plan. The offloading plan reduces latency and communication overhead by cutting out the offloading query required for each job under the passive pathway. Overall we see a 6ms reduction in latency when using the active pathway in a multi-node environment connected over Wi-Fi.
