• Abstract summary: This paper studies inference acceleration using distributed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in collaborative edge computing. We design a novel task collaboration scheme in which the overlapping zone of the sub-tasks on secondary edge servers (ESs) is executed on the host ES, named as HALP. Experimental results show that HALP can accelerate CNN inference in VGG-16 by 1.7-2.0x for a single task and 1.7-1.8x for 4 tasks per batch on GTX 1080TI and JETSON AGX Xavier.

• Abstract: This paper studies inference acceleration using distributed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in collaborative edge computing. To ensure inference accuracy in inference task partitioning, we consider the receptive-field when performing segment-based partitioning. To maximize the parallelization between the communication and computing processes, thereby minimizing the total inference time of an inference task, we design a novel task collaboration scheme in which the overlapping zone of the sub-tasks on secondary edge servers (ESs) is executed on the host ES, named as HALP. We further extend HALP to the scenario of multiple tasks. Experimental results show that HALP can accelerate CNN inference in VGG-16 by 1.7-2.0x for a single task and 1.7-1.8x for 4 tasks per batch on GTX 1080TI and JETSON AGX Xavier, which outperforms the state-of-the-art work MoDNN. Moreover, we evaluate the service reliability under time-variant channel, which shows that HALP is an effective solution to ensure high service reliability with strict service deadline.

  We study the multi-agent collaborative inference scenario, where a single edge server coordinates the inference of multiple UEs.

Then we define tasks according to the inference overhead of DNNs and formulate the problem as a Markov decision process.

  Mini-batch training of graph neural networks (GNNs) requires a lot of computation and data movement. We argue in favor of performing mini-batch training with neighborhood sampling in a distributed multi-GPU environment. We present a sequence of improvements to mitigate these bottlenecks, including a performance-engineered neighborhood sampler. We also conduct an empirical analysis that supports the use of sampling for inference, showing that test accuracies are not materially compromised.

Our model is well-suited to decentralized periodic-connected tasks as it allows the energy-starved or bandwidth-constraint tasks to postpone the update. Empirical results confirm that the proposed model is highly effective on various real-world datasets.
