    算网融合下时间连续的计算任务卸载机制

    Time-Continuous Computing Task Offloading Mechanism for Computing and Network Convergence

    • 摘要: 算力网络通过网络协同云、边、端计算资源,突破单点算力的性能瓶颈,为智能化社会提供了算力支撑.算网融合逐渐成为新型信息通信网络技术发展的趋势.由于计算资源异构、网络负载动态,如何协同云、边、端计算资源,从而降低计算任务时延是算网融合下极具挑战性的问题之一.为简化问题,现有工作往往假设系统时间是离散的,并且只在时隙结束时进行计算卸载决策.但该假设会引入决策等待时间,增加了计算任务的整体时延.针对上述问题,提出一种算网融合下时间连续的计算任务卸载机制,在保证时间轴连续和协同多个边缘节点计算资源的前提下,以服务体验提升率为优化目标,对云、边、端间任务卸载问题进行建模,并设计了一种基于深度强化学习的任务卸载方法,从而更高效地利用算力网络计算资源.通过大量的仿真实验证明,与2种基线算法相比所提算法能够有效降低任务时延,提升服务体验.

       

      Abstract: Computing power network breaks the performance bottleneck of single network point by collaborating the computing resources of cloud servers, edge nodes and devices. Computing power network provides support for intelligent society through computing power. Computing and network convergence has gradually become the trend of new information and communication network technology. Due to heterogeneous computing resources and dynamic network, it is an challenging problem to cooperate the computing resources of cloud, edge and devices to reduce the delay of computing tasks in computing power network. To simplify the problem, existing work often assumes that the system time is discrete and only make computing offloading decisions at the end of time slots. However, this assumption results in decision waiting latency and increases the overall waiting delay of computing tasks. To address this problem, we propose a time-continuous computing task offloading optimization mechanism for computing and network convergence. Under the premise of continues timeline and collaboration of edge nodes, we model the computing offloading problem between cloud, edge and devices with the optimization goal of service experience improvement rate. Besides, we design a computing offloading algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning to improve the utility of computing resources in computing power network. Through extensive simulation experiments, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the task delay and improve the service experience compared with two baseline algorithms.
