Edge Intelligence via Model Training
摘要
In this chapter, we focus on distributed training of DNN at the edge, including the architectures, key performance indicators, enabling techniques and existing systems & frameworks. We clasify the architectures of distributed DNN training into three categories: Centralized, Decentralized, Hybrid (Cloud-Edge-Device), as illustrated by subfigures (a), (b) and (c) in Fig. 2.1, respectively. The cloud refers to the central datacenter whereas the end devices are represented by mobile phones, cars and surveillance cameras, which are also data sources. For the edge server, we use base stations as the legend. As shown in Fig. 2.1, all three architectures involve cooperation between different kinds of devices. However, only the devices with a neural network mark process DNN training, either partially or wholly.
