Abstract

The invention relates to a resource management framework that enables resource-constrained Internet of Things (NI) devices to offload latency-sensitive AI inference workloads to edge servers, performing directed loop graph (DGP)-based task scheduling under stochastic network conditions. The resource management framework can be used for multi-stage pipeline workflows such as real-time video analysis, intelligent transportation, and industrial monitoring. It allows operators to monitor resource utilization and deadline compliance in edge infrastructure in real-time, anticipate and respond to HCI (Health, Safety, and Environment) violation risks, and serve more enterprise workflows on the same physical infrastructure.

The first shortcoming is that the existing Schedulers should assign equal value to all tasks and consider the contribution of each task to inference quality. It is a matter of ignoring it. Classical methods like HEFT, which are based on the earliest completion time criterion, 15 It assumes deterministic communication cost and instantaneous failure with variable bandwidth. It cannot take into account the possibility. The second shortcoming is that the task-oriented communication approach is only for individuals. its focus on link transmission and DAG in multi-hop stochastic network conditions The problem is that it is not integrated with the scheduling. From the operator's perspective, this situation is in the edge infrastructure. 20 unpredictable increases in delays and the path to HKA violations in critical workflows This means a lack of visibility.
