HyperGAC: Information Entropy-Driven Resource Allocation for Cloud-Edge-End Computing
摘要
Cloud-Edge-End computing provides favorable support for emerging applications by virtue of its low-latency and high reliability. Resource allocation strategies significantly impact the quality of service and response time of cloud-edge-end systems. Due to the decentralized storage of resources, large fluctuations in task demands, and the complexity of cloud-edge-end environments, achieving effective resource allocation remains challenging. Existing resource allocation strategies rely on static models or predefined rules, and cannot flexibly respond to real-time network conditions and changes in task requirements. Consequently, they are limited in achieving optimal resource utilization and effective load balancing. Therefore, this paper proposes an Information Entropy (IE)-driven cloud-edge-end resource allocation mechanism called HyperGAC. First, IE is employed to quantify resource fluctuations, so as to accurately capture the dynamic changes in resource demands. And an Entropy-based Correlation Recurrent Unit (ECRU) is designed to predict server resource utilization. Second, the hypergraph is used to model the complex relationships between resources and tasks, breaking through the limitations of traditional graph structures in multi-dimensional relationships modeling. Finally, the Hypergraph Neural Network (HGNN) is integrated into the actor-critic framework to extract the features from the hypergraph association model, while dynamically optimizing resource allocation strategy based on the prediction results. Experimental results demonstrate that the HyperGAC mechanism significantly improves resource utilization and load balancing performance while effectively reducing the task rejection rate.
