Edge AIBench: Towards Comprehensive End-to-end Edge Computing Benchmarking

Abstract: In edge computing scenarios, the distribution of data and collaboration of workloads on different layers are serious concerns for performance, privacy, and security issues. So for edge computing benchmarking, we must take an end-to-end view, considering all three layers: client-side devices, edge computing layer, and cloud servers. Unfortunately, the previous work ignores this most important point. This paper presents the BenchCouncil's coordinated e ort on edge AI benchmarks, named Edge AIBench. In total, Edge AIBench models four typical application scenarios: ICU Patient Monitor, Surveillance Camera, Smart Home, and Autonomous Vehicle with the focus on data distribution and workload collaboration on three layers. Edge AIBench is a part of the open-source AIBench project, publicly available from http://www.benchcouncil.org/AIBench/index.html. We also build an edge computing testbed with a federated learning framework to resolve performance, privacy, and security issues.
