Enhancing Resource Efficiency Through Heuristic and Reinforcement Learning Approaches in Edge-Based Distributed Systems
摘要
This research investigates the application of heuristic and reinforcement learning approaches to enhance resource efficiency in edge-based distributed systems. The proposed approaches aim to optimize resource allocation, workload balancing, resource provisioning, task scheduling, and average/maximum dilation metrics. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements across all evaluation metrics. Resource allocation improved by 90–96%, workload balancing by 85–91%, resource provisioning by 92%–97%, and task scheduling by 90–96%. Average/maximum dilation values decreased from 0.05 to 0.04, indicating improved data flow management. These findings highlight the potential of heuristic and reinforcement learning techniques to optimize resource management in edge computing environments. The adaptive nature of these approaches enables them to dynamically adjust resource provisioning based on system demands, ensuring optimal utilization and responsiveness. In conclusion, research on improving resource efficiency with heuristic and reinforcement learning approaches in edge-based distributed systems has shown state-of-the-art promises. Thus, it renders the management of resources in an edge computing environment much brighter in terms of performance, efficiency, and responsiveness. Integration of these novel approaches will, therefore, allow attaining maximal benefit for distributed systems serving different applications throughout the evolution of edge computing.
