Content of report:

With the development of deep learning technology and the popularity of smart terminal devices, it has become an inevitable trend to run deep learning applications on smart terminals. Existing computing models based on independent terminals and cloud collaboration cannot achieve real-time and efficient execution of deep learning applications. Therefore, a new type of computing framework and related optimization mechanism need to be designed to support the intelligent application of the terminal. This report mainly analyzes the existing deep learning acceleration mechanisms and application deployment models, elicits the concepts of edge computing and edge intelligence, and discusses the research hotspots of edge intelligence and some current preliminary attempts.
