US 11,768,705 B2 · Automatic localization of acceleration in edge computing environments

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and machine-readable storage media of an edge computing device which is enabled to access and select the use of local or remote acceleration resources for edge computing processing is disclosed. In an example, an edge computing device obtains first telemetry information that indicates availability of local acceleration circuitry to execute a function, and obtains second telemetry that indicates availability of a remote acceleration function to execute the function. An estimated time (and cost or other identifiable or estimateable considerations) to execute the function at the respective location is identified. The use of the local acceleration circuitry or the remote acceleration resource is selected based on the estimated time and other appropriate factors in relation to a service level agreement.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a computing system, comprising:

obtaining first telemetry information that indicates availability of a local acceleration resource of the computing system to execute a function;
obtaining second telemetry information that indicates availability of a remote acceleration resource to execute the function, the remote acceleration resource located at a remote location in an edge computing system;
identifying an estimated time to complete execution of the function at the local acceleration resource and the remote acceleration resource, based on evaluation of the first and second telemetry information;
identifying an urgency level for execution of the function;
and
in response to a determination that the remote acceleration resource is capable to execute a portion of the function and provide results based on the urgency level faster than the local acceleration resource, causing the remote acceleration resource to execute the portion of the function and causing the local acceleration resource to execute a remaining portion of the function.
