Computation offloading to edge servers has been proposed as a solution to performing computation-intensive deep learning applications on devices with low hardware capabilities. However, the deep learning model has to be uploaded to the edge server before computation offloading is possible, a non-trivial assumption in the edge server environment. Incremental offloading of neural networks was proposed as a solution as it can simultaneously upload model and offload computation [1]. Although it reduced the model upload time required for computation offloading, it did not properly handle the model creation overhead, increasing the time required to upload the entire model. This work solves this problem by parallel optimization of model uploading and creation, decreasing the model upload time by up to 30% compared to the previous system.

A vast amount of research has been carried out for executing compute-intensive applications on resource-constrained mobile devices. Computation offloading is a method in which heavy computations are dynamically migrated from a mobile device to a server, exploiting the powerful hardware of the server to perform complex computations. An important issue for offloading is the complexity of reconciling the execution state of applications between the server and the client. To address this issue, snapshot-based offloading has recently been proposed, which utilizes the snapshot of a web app as the portable description of the execution state. However, for web applications using the HTML5 canvas, snapshot-based offloading does not function correctly, because the snapshot cannot capture the state of the canvas. In this paper, we propose a code generation technique to save the canvas state as part of a snapshot, so that the snapshot-based offloading can be applied to web applications using the canvas.

A Function Level Static Offloading Scheme for Saving Energy of Mobile Devices in Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile cloud computing is a technology that uses cloud services to overcome resource constrains of a mobile device, and it applies the computation offloading scheme to transfer a portion of a task which should be executed from a mobile device to the cloud. If the communication cost of the computation offloading is less than the computation cost of a mobile device, the mobile device commits a certain task to the cloud. The previous cost analysis models, which were used for separating functions running on a mobile device and functions transferring to the cloud, only considered the amount of data transfer and response time as the offloading cost. In this paper, we proposed a new task partitioning scheme that considers the frequency of function calls and data synchronization, during the cost estimation of the computation offloading. We also verified the energy efficiency of the proposed scheme by using experimental results.
