Both paradigms allow vendors and designers to integrate dedicated circuitry for accelerating computation. Implementations like cryptographic or vector engines are well known, and nowadays Machine Learning (ML) blocks are often included to accelerate Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference. The shift toward diverse device architectures, as exemplified by RISC-V, is poised to gain momentum. The widespread integration of accelerators in smartphones, tablets, SoCs, and dedicated server systems, is opening up exciting new innovations. In this short paper we present computation offloading for specific workloads in the framework of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and energy optimisation. We honour inter- task dependency through use of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Our system model with multiple mobile users, Device- to-Device (D2D) links between User Equipments (UEs), and edge servers enables computational and communication cooperation. The system's energy efficiency is significantly improved by introducing accelerators to the UEs and the MEC. We study the capabilities of the devices (accelerators) and propose an effective solution.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }

At the same time, development and testing of new technologies is troubled by inconsistent environments. Exchanging modules of a system during research becomes a major obstacle. As a result, baselines for comparisons are lacking, and evaluating new developments may lead to heavy time cost. Big industrial players typically circumvent this problem by relying on the scale of their datacenters, experiments, and problems, which makes them inherently interesting. We propose a softwarised testbed that abstracts away inevitable hardware differences. Its design closely follows the established philosophy to separate workloads and declare expressive interfaces between them. The result is a coherent testbed, consisting of interchangeable, but state of the art, components. It establishes Experiment-as-Code, where an experiment is declared to load generators programmatically. In sum, the testbed yields reproducible results. We verify networking, computational and interacting components by reproducing known results. We illustrate one use case of scaling under uncertainty the applicability for research. The whole system is hosted on-premise, with minimal hardware requirements, which enables especially academia to contribute. The low-effort in setup also allows handover to students and staff with the goal to ensure knowledge transfer.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }

Among various layer three block codes, Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) has emerged as an adaptable, powerful approach. However, its most straight-forward implementation, Full Vector Coding (FVC), introduces too much delay for widespread adoption. Handcrafted schemes were introduced to optimise coding delay, while keeping resilience reasonably high. These works have resulted in tailRLNC and PACE. For the first time we analyse their respective behaviours in a fair and comparable manner, as non-recovered packets were statistically ignored previously. We then introduce an environment that uses a consistent, unbiased simulator and interface it with a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent. This is the first time RLNC is joined with DRL. Our deep Q-network (DQN) based agent effectively uses an optimisation loop and utilises a customisable, expressive and extendable parametric loss function to learn a protocol. We demonstrate our agent recovers hand-tailored schemes and achieves state of the art.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
