“…Since WebAssembly's runtime environments are low level virtual stack machines, they are not limited to web applications and can also be embedded into host applications or can be launched in standalone runtime environments. A very interesting application is to use Webassembly to deploy applications on IoT and edge devices [24] where the sand boxing functionality of Webassembly can offer high security while still having a very high performance.…”

Although deep neural networks are typically computationally expensive to use, technological advances in both the design of hardware platforms and of neural network architectures, have made it possible to use powerful models on edge devices. To enable widespread adoption of edge based machine learning, we introduce a set of open-source tools that make it easy to deploy, update and monitor machine learning models on a wide variety of edge devices. Our tools bring the concept of containerization to the TinyML world. We propose to package ML and application logic as containers called Runes to deploy onto edge devices. The containerization allows us to target a fragmented Internet-of-Things (IoT) ecosystem by providing a common platform for Runes to run across devices.

“…The exact features of these systems vary 6 , with some targeted for smallest devices, with the simplest possible interpretation, and others supporting sophisticated features such as streaming and ahead-of-time compilation 7 . Thus, small memory footprint and near-native performance make it an attractive alternative for building IoT systems [28].…”

“…The work was conducted inside the browser, not using a runtime only, which may have affected the results. At the same time, [28] claim that the Wasmachine runtime is up to 11% faster than Linux for common IoT and fog applications.…”

“…What the study overlooks, however, is the fact that WASM module images are smaller than corresponding Docker images (or even smaller than compiled C/C++ modules), where facilities related to the infrastructure are included. Furthermore, while some WASM virtual machines can be run in various micro-controllers 9 and play the role of an operating system [28] -even bare-metal implementation is proposed 10 .…”

Going all the way to IoT with web technologies opens up the door to isomorphic IoT system architectures, which deliver flexible deployment and live migration of code between any device in the overall system. In this vision paper, we propose using WebAssembly to implement lightweight containers and deliver the required portability. Our long-term vision is to use the technology to support developers of liquid IoT applications offering seamless, hassle-free use of multiple devices.

“…Wasm is designed to be a compilation target, which can support several languages: C, C++ and Rust can already be compiled to Wasm. In the last few years, running Wasm code outside the browser has started to gain interest among researchers and developers [21] 6,7 , which was also manifested in [1]. On the surface, Wasm is a perfect fit for a cross-platform applications -the virtual machine required to run applications has a small footprint, and their performance is near to native.…”

WebAssembly is a new technology that aims at portable compilation target for various programming languages. The goal is to support deployment on the web for client and server applications. While the technology itself is independent from the browser, majority of the implementations are browser-based, and hence the associated use cases are limited. In this paper, we study the use of WebAssembly outside the browser. In particular, we are interested in partitioning WebAssembly applications into modules and linking them during execution allowing reductions in memory consumption, binary size, and compilation and startup time.
