Chasing Clouds with Donkeycar: Holistic Exploration of Edge and Cloud Inferencing Trade-Offs in E2E Self-Driving Cars

· 0 citations · 3 references

TL;DR

The comparisons of performance metrics be-tween cloud-aided and edge-only models provide a demonstration of advantages offered by a Cloud-Aided framework, particularly in regards to RNN performance which changed from 0% autonomy to 90% autonomy, outperforming convolutional neural networks when the domain shifted.

Synergizing large and small models in cloud-edge continuum: a spatiotemporal hypergraph approach for dynamic offloading

This paper proposes a spatiotemporal hypergraph-driven framework integrating high-order topological feature extraction with dynamic resource modeling, and introduces dynamic hypergraph sequences to naturally encompass local conflict domains, mitigating the topological blind spots and “over-smoothing” issues inherent in...
