How Far Can We Go in Compute-less Networking: Computation Correctness and Accuracy

Emerging applications such as augmented reality and tactile Internet are compute-intensive latency sensitive, which hampers their running in constrained end devices alone or the distant cloud. The stringent requirements of have given rise to realization edge computing, wherby computation is offloaded near users. Compute-less networking an extension computing that aims reduce abridge communication by adopting in-network reuse. Computation reuse cache result computations use them perform similar tasks future and, therefore, avoid redundant calculations optimize resources. In this article, we focus on correctness final output produced Since input might not be identical but similar, previous raises questions about accuracy results. To end, implement a proof concept study gauge effectiveness efficiency We able task completion time up 80 percent while ensuring high correctness. further discuss open challenges highlight research directions.
