Leveraging multicores for mobile edge computing
Seehwan Yoo · 2018
Mobile edge computing (MEC) servers with multiple cores are considered. Mobile edge computing servers address diverse workloads from different scenarios. MEC server could serve as I/O intensive cache server, intelligent big data analytics server, or mobile offloading server. That is, CPU processing at edge computers are becoming important. To address diverse workload characteristics, we focus on ARM's power-performance scaling processor architecture. The architecture incorporates high-performance cores as well as energy-efficient cores, so that it can dynamically scale power and performance on demand. This paper presents two possible power-performance scaling schemes based upon achievable throughput and average power consumption.
