Nowadays, edge computing techniques are universally used and become more powerful. The edge devices are well developed such as mobile phones, wearable devices, and IoT devices. Today edge computing has evolved to a new computing paradigm where computing tasks are completed closer to data sources (i.e. at edge) rather than in a centralized location (e.g. in cloud). Compared with cloud computing, edge computing has many advantages: 1) Services can be done without network access. 2) Users can choose not to upload private data in exchange of cloud services. 3) Real-time service with extremely low latency is possible without the overhead of moving data to the cloud. However, the restricted resources (e.g., computation, DRAM space, and battery) of edge devices bring many new challenges to edge computing as well.
