Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms are described for enabling a user to run heavy deep learning workloads on standard edge networks without off-loading computation to a cloud, leveraging the available edge computing resources, and efficiently partitioning and distributing a Deep Neural Network (DNN) over a network. The techniques enable the user to split a workload into multiple parts and process the workload on a set of smaller, less capable compute nodes in a distributed manner, without compromising on performance, and while meeting a Service Level Objective (SLO).
