Taming Generation Quality and Latency for Text-to-Image Serving at the Edge

Serving text-to-image (T2I) generation on edge servers can reduce the serving latency and enhance the preservation of user privacy. Currently, mainstream T2I models generate images iteratively, and the more iterations, usually the higher the generation quality, but the longer the generation latency. Existing T2I servin...

AccSI: Accelerating Serverless Inference via Edge-Assisted Pipelined Model Fetching

Serverless edge computing (SEC) is an emerging paradigm for delivering low-latency and auto-scaling services on resource-limited edges. However, when applied to DNN inference applications, SEC suffers from significant cold-start overhead, because large model parameters need to be fetched from remote model registries be...

BACO: A Backoff-Based Coordinated Task Offloading Scheme for Infrastructure-Free MEC

This paper studies task offloading in infrastructure-free mobile edge computing (MEC), where end devices must autonomously discover candidate servers and make offloading decisions under dynamic connectivity and time-varying computing resources. However, the lack of centralized coordination incurs high overhead to acqui...

Overselling-Aware Task Scheduling in MEC With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) enables low-latency computing services, yet third-party resource providers integrated into MEC systems may oversell their computing capacity, severely degrading task scheduling performance. To address this, we propose an overselling-aware task scheduling scheme with deep reinforcement...

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
