Akarino Edge Computing Project

Abstract

Today’s cloud is not built to support the demands of tomorrow’s network infrastructure, where the edge of the network is lined with up to 1 trillion intelligent devices by 2035, many requiring very low latency and efficient acceleration. A massive transformation in network infrastructure is underway, particularly at the network edge, and the Arm ecosystem will play a prominent role in the realization of this vision, bringing unique and compelling solutions to the industry. There are many emerging industry initiatives seeking to address edge computing from a wide range of perspectives and Arm is involved in several already. This session gives an overview of the Linux Foundation Akraino Edge Computing project and how it seeks to add to the industry effort and harmonize with other initiatives.
