Abstract
This paper delves into the utilization of reconfigurable architecture integrated with machine learning (ML) to advance edge computing for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The proposed framework synergizes Deep Q-Networks (DQN) ML algorithms with reconfigurable hardware to enhance computational efficiency, adaptability, and energy consumption in IoT devices. With the increasing deployment of IoT devices in diverse environments, the need for efficient, adaptable, and energy-conscious computational solutions at the edge has become imperative. By embedding machine learning algorithms into reconfigurable hardware, the framework enables IoT devices to dynamically adjust their processing capabilities based on the current workload and environmental conditions. This adaptability is crucial in managing the limited computational and energy resources typical of IoT devices. The framework's design emphasizes flexibility, allowing IoT devices to optimize their operations on the fly, thereby improving their performance and energy efficiency. Experiments conducted to assess the framework's effectiveness revealed significant improvements in processing speed and resource utilization. These results validate the framework's potential to transform IoT edge computing by offering a scalable and efficient solution to the challenges posed by the burgeoning IoT ecosystem. This approach underscores the promise of combining reconfigurable hardware and DQN ML to push the boundaries of IoT device capabilities, ensuring they can meet future demands while conserving valuable resources.
