This paper addresses the joint task offloading and resource allocation problem in multi-user MEC systems and proposes a decentralized control framework based on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), which achieves lower total system cost and faster convergence than the full-local, full-offload, and heuristic basel...
Workflow scheduling in heterogeneous cloud environments must operate under dynamic and heterogeneous conditions. Heuristic algorithms cannot adapt online to changing conditions, while single-agent deep reinforcement learning (DRL) faces issues such as exponential growth in the action space, excessive training time, and...
Sensitivity and ablation studies confirm stable learning and controllable latency-cost trade-offs, demonstrating that lightweight RL can effectively deliver cost-efficient, adaptive autoscaling in hybrid cloud environments.
Enabling collaborative generative AI (GenAI) inference at the network edge is challenging due to limited caching capacity, heterogeneous computing resources, and highly dynamic, latency-sensitive service demands. In this paper, we investigate the joint optimization of GenAI model caching, inference offloading, and reso...
A two-timescale multi-layer deep reinforcement learning framework with a latent action space (2T-MDRL-LA) to jointly optimize service placement, user association, computational delegation, task offloading, and user transmit power and achieves near-optimal performance compared to branch-and-bound solutions.
SAGE (Scene-Adaptive Graph-Enhanced offloading), a task-offloading framework that combines a heterogeneous graph neural network (HeteroGNN) with a dueling double DQN meta-controller and a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver, is proposed, demonstrating strong scene-adaptive decision-making capability.
By rethinking how large cloud computing systems operate, Associate Professor Christina Delimitrou seeks to make data centers more energy efficient.
An ongoing survey tracks the latest AI accelerator systems to keep hardware relevant for Lincoln Laboratory staff and sponsors.
Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
