EDGE COMPUTING

Edge computing is an emerging computing paradigm which refers to a range of networks and
devices at or near the user. Edge is about processing data closer to where it’s being generated,
enabling processing at greater speeds and volumes, leading to greater action-led results in real
time.
- Computing power is centralized at an on-premise data center.
- Allows to improve how to manage and use physical assets and create new interactive,
human experiences.
Edge devices: Devices which are locally collecting and processing data while touching the
physical world.
Edge computing can reduce processing times and improve application performance, but the
architecture has its issues.

Edge Clusters
An edge cluster enabled use cases at the edge, which require co-location of compute with
business operations, or that require scalability, availability, and compute capability services
that are needed to support services running on edge devices due to their close proximity to
edge devices.
Kiosk: An interactive terminal which provides access to information and applications.

Edge Weight
The weight of an edge is often referred to as the “cost” of the edge. In applications, the
weight may be a measure of the length of a route, the capacity of a line, the energy required
to move between locations along a route, etc.

RESOURCE ALLOCATION
Resource allocation in computing systems deals with the allocation of available system
resources to the various tasks ready to be executed. Typically, resource allocation algorithms
take as input a list of tasks or processes that are ready to be executed at some particular time
as provided by a system scheduler.
Resource allocation is the process by which network elements try to meet the computing
demands that applications have for network resources – primarily link bandwidth and buffer
space in routers or switches. Resource allocation is partially implemented in the routers,
switches, and links inside the network and partially in the transport protocol running on the
end hosts.
Resource allocation is a measure used to compute the closeness of nodes based on their
shared neighbors.
Epoch: Training the neural network with all the training data for one cycle.
NP-hard: (Non-deterministic polynomial time hard) No efficient algorithms to find its
solutions.

NETWORK BANDWIDTH
Network bandwidth is a measurement indicating the maximum capacity of a wired or
wireless communications link to transmit data over a network connection in a given amount
of time. Typically, bandwidth is represented in the number of bits, kilobits, megabits or
gigabits that can be transmitted in 1 second.

COMPUTATIONAL STORAGE
Computational storage is an IT design architecture where data is processed at the storage
level. Computational storage allows for the merging of computing and storage resources for
efficiency and complementary function.

Parametreler:
Bandwidth: Base station ile kameralar arasındaki path’in flow kontrolünü bandwidth ile karar
verilebilir. Bandwidth’in düşük olması, bir kameradan gelecek GOP’lardan çok daha fazla
GOP geleceği için kameralardan, bir gecikmeye yol açacaktır. Parametrelerden biri olarak
bandwidth düşünülmelidir. (Bk = bandwidth of the link from camera k to base station)
Channel gain: Eğer kameralar bir radio head üzerinden fit edilecekse, bir channel model (H)
denklemi oluşturulmalı ve bu yüzden de channel gain parametrelerden biri olarak
düşünülmelidir. (G). Oluşturulan channel modelinde de parametreleri vardır.
Network capacity: Kameralardan gelen GOP’ların maximum ne kadarı flow edilebilmesi için
network capacity gerekli parametrelerden biridir. (C)
Edge weight: Bu modelde düşünülmesi gereken en önemli kısımdır. Kameralardan baz
istasyonlarına giden bir path’te neler olunabileceği düşünülmeli. Örnek olarak, the capacity
of the line, energy needed for transmission (Ek), flow time in line (tk). Bu üç durum da
modelde parameter olarak düşünülebilir.
Distortion: GOP sıkıştırma sırasında ortaya çıkan gürültüdür ve accuracy’yi etkiler. Ayrıca
GOP kalitesinde de olumsuz etmenler olur. O yüzden distrotion da bir parametre olarak
düşünülmelidir. (µ)
Frame rate: Distortion’ın yol açtığı kalite düşürmeyi ölçebilmek için frame rate gerekli bir
parametredir. (f)
Link flow: Birden fazla kameradan çok sayıda GOP geleceğinden kamera k’dan baz
istasyonuna giden path’te flow rate bakılması gereken bir parametredir.
Constraints:
Penalty of latency and accuracy
- Constraint of delay (maximum admissible delay = T, delay of GOP i from camera k =
τk)
- Distortion -> belli bir seviyede tutulabilir. Accuracy’nin penalty’lerden biridir.
Capacity constraint
fk = the number of GOP transmission from camera k
Ck = capacity constraint on the line from camera k to base station
0 < fk ≤ C k
QoS constraints
