Sequence Elimination Algorithm for Multi-Server Multi-User Mobile Edge Computing Offloading

Abstract

Edge computing is a new paradigm of distributed computing, in which computing offloading attracts wide attention from scholars. Existing work mainly focuses on single-server and single-user, and generally only optimizes energy consumption or execution time respectively. However, optimizing one may lead to the decline in another. In order to remedy this defect, we propose sequence elimination algorithm based on genetic algorithm. The algorithm can optimize energy consumption or execution time respectively in the scenario of multi-user and multi-server. The simulation results show that the sequence elimination algorithm can effectively reduce the energy consumption and execution time in the edge computing offloading problem.
