IIT is providing a course that will cover the fundamentals of Edge computing and its applications in low latency and critical real-time computing scenarios.
The course brings in the theory of Edge computing, focusing on it as a complementary approach that addresses some of the limitations of cloud computing.
The course will cover applications where edge computing is a necessity, such as real-time applications that require low latency and high bandwidth.
For example, autonomous vehicles require real-time processing of data from sensors, which cannot be done in a centralized data center due to latency issues.
Course layout
Week 1 : Introduction to Cloud and its limitations to support low latency and RTT. From Cloud to Edge computing: Waves of innovation.
Week 2 : Introduction to Edge Computing Architectures.
Week 3 : Edge Computing to support User Applications (5G-Slicing, self-driving cars and more).
Week 4 : Concepts of distributed systems in edge computing such as time ordering and clock synchronization, distributed snapshot, etc.
Week 5 : Introduction to Edge Data Center, Lightweight Edge Clouds and its services provided by different service providers.
Week 6 : Introduction to docker container and Kubernetes in edge computing. Design of edge storage systems like key-value stores.
Week 7 : Introduction to MQTT and Kafka for end-to-end edge pipeline. Edge analytics topologies for M2M and WSN network (MQTT).
Week 8 : Use cases of machine learning for edge sensor data in predictive maintenance, image classifier and self-driving cars. Deep Learning On-Device inference at the edge to support latency-based application.
