Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. The current system assumes an application specific regression model is available on the servers which can predict processing time given the current parameters of the job (e.g. in the cloud). for the wasm-version.

The short answers are, of course ‘all the time’ and ‘everyone’, but this mutual disownership is a common reason why performance often gets overlooked. Of course, it is impossible to fix (or even find) every performance issue during the development phase. Each have their own time, place, purpose, focus, and audience. Who: Engineers.

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible.

The goal is to produce a low-energy hardware classifier for embedded applications doing local processing of sensor data. Of course analog signalling comes with a whole bunch of challenges of its own, which is one of the reasons we tend to convert to digital. One such possible representation is pure analog signalling.

Micro-optimizations are great for keeping performance on track, but it’s critical to have clearly defined targets in mind — measurable goals that would influence any decisions made throughout the process.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
