Optimizing response time by load sharing in edge computing

Abstract:

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: analyzing resources of an edge device available for computing workloads of a cloud to which the edge device is operatively coupled various communication networks per locations of the edge device, wherein the edge device is mobile. A location of the edge device at an estimated time of delivery of an output of a cloud application is predicted prior to the estimated time of delivery. It is determined that the location of the edge device from the predicting is serviced by a communication network below a threshold connectivity. The cloud has the cloud application installed on the edge device at a current location according to an access permission on the edge device. The edge device continues processing the workloads of the cloud and the output of the cloud application generated.
