Smart Mapping - Optimizing Compute Across Cloud and Edge in IoT Networks

Explore an innovative approach to developing distributed applications that seamlessly integrate cloud infrastructure, edge devices, and IoT nodes in this 40-minute conference talk from Code BEAM Europe 2024. Learn how to move beyond traditional manual mapping of computational tasks that leads to architectural lock-in by implementing smart mapping techniques using Erlang Processes within dataflow graphs across heterogeneous network nodes. Discover how to optimize compute distribution based on critical criteria including statically fixed node mappings, first-bit latency, network and compute bandwidth constraints, latency influenced by bandwidth limits, energy consumption requirements, specialized compute needs, and data sensitivity and trust considerations. Witness live demonstrations showcasing cloud and IoT node interactions that illustrate how these intelligent mappings leverage a compute continuum to meet all constraints while adapting dynamically to network changes. Gain practical insights into the intricacies of compute mapping in heterogeneous IoT networks and master advanced techniques for building sophisticated distributed applications that effectively utilize both cloud and edge resources.
