Abstract

Hardware accelerators are available on the Cloud for enhanced analytics. Next\ngeneration Clouds aim to bring enhanced analytics using accelerators closer to\nuser devices at the edge of the network for improving Quality-of-Service by\nminimizing end-to-end latencies and response times. The collective computing\nmodel that utilizes resources at the Cloud-Edge continuum in a multi-tier\nhierarchy comprising the Cloud, the Edge and user devices is referred to as Fog\ncomputing. This article identifies challenges and opportunities in making\naccelerators accessible at the Edge. A holistic view of the Fog architecture is\nkey to pursuing meaningful research in this area.\n
