AUGMENTING COMPUTATIONAL GRID WITH CAPABILITY OF DATA PARALLEL EXECUTION ON NETWORK EDGE

摘要

Augmenting grid capacity using edge devices includes receiving, by a middleware system (112), idle resource information for a future interval from each of a plurality of edge devices (108). A cumulative capacity estimate can be determined for each time slot in the future time interval based on the idle resource information. Job information for a job to be handled by the edge devices (108) is received in response to providing the cumulative capacity estimate. The job is partitioned based on the job information and the idle resource information to generate task allocation information for allocating tasks to the edge devices (108) to augment the grid capacity.
