In edge computing scenarios, the distribution of data and collaboration of workloads on different layers are serious concerns for performance, privacy, and security issues. So for edge computing benchmarking, we must take an end-to-end view, considering all three layers: client-side devices, edge computing layer, and cloud servers. Unfortunately, the previous work ignores this most important point. This paper presents the BenchCouncil's coordinated effort on edge AI benchmarks, named Edge AIBench. In total, Edge AIBench models four typical application scenarios: ICU Patient Monitor, Surveillance Camera, Smart Home, and Autonomous Vehicle with the focus on data distribution and workload collaboration on three layers. Edge AIBench is a part of the open-source AIBench project, publicly available from http: //www.benchcouncil.org/AIBench/index.html. We also build an edge computing testbed with a federated learning framework to resolve performance, privacy, and security issues.
Big medical data pose great challenges to life scientists, clinicians, computer scientists, and engineers. In this paper, a group of life scientists, clinicians, computer scientists, and engineers sit together to discuss several fundamental issues. First, what are the unique characteristics of big medical data different from those of the other domains? Second, what are the prioritized tasks in clinician research and practices utilizing big medical data? And do we have enough publicly available data sets for performing those tasks? Third, do the state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art algorithms perform good jobs? Fourth, are there any benchmarks for measuring algorithms and systems for big medical data? Fifth, what are the performance gaps of the state-of-the-practice and state-of-the-art systems handling big medical data currently or in the future? Finally, but not least, are we, life scientists, clinicians, computer scientists, and engineers, ready for working together? We believe that answering the above-mentioned issues will help define and shape the landscape of big medical data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
