Enabling Cloud Intelligence for the 5G Edge

 We generally think of 5G purely as a telephony architecture, yet 5G will also open the door to “cloud edge” computing as a scalable technology for apps that run on mobile phones, enabling mobile devices to tap into real-time big data analytics and real-time machine intelligence.  The challenge is that to use 5G with the cloud in this manner, we will need instant correct reaction based on rapidly changing real-world data.  In this talk, I’ll describe recent work to make the cloud friendlier for demanding real-world applications.  Cornell’s Derecho and Cascade technologies, on which this talk is based, can be downloaded for free open-source use from GitHub.com/Derecho-Project.
