Abstract Details

2018, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer Engineering.
Computational task offloading is the idea that mobile and embedded systems can realize increased performance by allowing a less resource-constrained remote computing device to handle certain aspects of computation and return the result to the local device. The largest performance gains occur when the portions of the computation that are offloaded are chosen dynamically to account for changing network conditions. This research develops an efficient scheme for dynamically optimizing the offloading of computational tasks that consist of a serial sequence of sub-tasks or stages. We prove that the optimal offloading behavior involves offloading no more than one subsequence of consecutive stages and that the optimal subsequence can be found in polynomial time. The proposed system is demonstrated on an aerial imagery analysis task.
