Presentations

With multimedia content projected to form the majority of internet traffic, scalability is a major issue. In parallel, a lot of processing is shifting to the edge of the network, but where should we locate the compute hardware in this case? In this talk, Antero Vainio describes a distributed network architecture which can help solve these challenges. Third talk rom the collaborative machine learning session at Computing Systems Week Tampere.
