Abstract
Model-serving systems expose machine learning (ML) models to applications programmatically via a high-level API. Cloud platforms use these systems to mask the complexities of optimally managing resources and servicing inference requests across multiple applications. Model serving at the edge is now also becoming increasingly important to support inference workloads with tight latency requirements. However, edge model serving differs substantially from cloud model serving in its latency, energy, and accuracy constraints: these systems must support multiple applications with widely different latency and accuracy requirements on embedded edge accelerators with limited computational and energy resources.
