Publication number: 20240069968Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The statistics may include parameters associated with the compute and communication capabilities of the secondary devices. The primary device may predict, based on the statistics, an expected performance gain in distributing the compute task to the secondary devices relative to performing the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is high enough, the primary device may distribute shares of the compute task to the secondary devices over the wireless communication links. If the expected performance gain is low enough, the primary device may perform the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is moderate, the primary device may update the set of secondary devices and/or may update a coding and distribution scheme for the compute task.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Sabine Roessel, Bernhard Raaf, Robert Zaus, Christian Drewes, Matthias Sauer, Josef Hausner

Publication number: 20240073912Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The primary device may process the statistics to determine whether the compute task will be offloaded to the secondary devices or performed locally. The primary device may generate a distribution scheme for the secondary devices based on the statistics. This may involve modeling first delays associated with transmission of signals from the primary device to the secondary devices, second delays associated with transmission of compute results from the secondary devices to the primary device, and third delays associated with processing resources of the secondary devices. The optimized distribution scheme may minimize overall runtime of the compute task given the modeled delays, scheduling grants for the secondary devices, and a radio resource allocation for the secondary devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Sabine Roessel, Bernhard Raaf, Robert Zaus, Christian Drewes, Matthias Sauer, Josef Hausner
