The following scenarios, such as complex application requirements, ZB (Zettabyte) order of magnitude of network data, and tens of billions of connected devices, pose serious challenges to the capabilities and security of the three pillars of ICT: Computing, network, and storage. Edge computing came into being. Following the design methodology of "description-synthesis-simulation-optimization", TAC (Tile-Architecture Cluster Computing Core) was proposed as the lightweight accelerated ECN (Edge Computing Node). ECN with a Tile-Architecture be designed and simulated through the method of executable description specification and polymorphous parallelism DSE (Design Space Exploration). By reasonable configuration of the edge computing environment and constant optimization of typical application scenarios, such as convolutional neural network and processing of image and graphic, we can meet the challenges of network bandwidth, end-cloud delay and privacy security brought by massive data of the IoE. The philosophy of "Edge-Cloud complements each other, and Edge-AI energizes each other" will become a new generation of IoE behavior principle.
诸如复杂的应用需求、网络数据的ZB(泽字节)数量级以及数百亿的连接设备等以下场景,对信息通信技术的三大支柱——计算、网络和存储的能力及安全性构成了严峻挑战。边缘计算应运而生。遵循“描述-合成-仿真-优化”的设计方法,提出了TAC(瓦片架构集群计算核心)作为轻量级加速边缘计算节点(ECN)。通过可执行描述规范和多态并行设计空间探索(DSE)方法对具有瓦片架构的边缘计算节点进行设计和仿真。通过合理配置边缘计算环境并不断优化典型应用场景,如卷积神经网络以及图像和图形处理,我们能够应对物联网海量数据带来的网络带宽、端到云延迟和隐私安全等挑战。“边缘-云相互补充,边缘-人工智能相互促进”的理念将成为新一代物联网的行为准则。
