Abstract
Novel techniques and mechanisms enable processing of heavy deep learning workloads on standard edge network devices to optimize the overall inference throughput of the network while meeting Service Level Agreement(s) (SLAs). The techniques can include receiving a deep learning model, determining a graph structure of the deep learning model including neurons organized in layers (the layers including an input layer, a plurality of hidden layers, and an output layer), assigning to a first IP subnet, at least a part of a first hidden layer of the plurality of hidden layers, assigning to a second IP subnet, at least a part of a second hidden layer of the plurality of hidden layers, and deploying the parts of the first and second hidden layers to edge devices as containerized applications with assigned IP addresses, which may be hidden from the user and/or third party application.
