Experimental test-bed for Computation Offloading for Cooperative Inference on Edge Devices

In this paper, we describe the experimental test-bed we are developing to evaluate the efficacy of computation offloading for cooperative inference without in-depth architectural changes to the models under consideration. We describe our test-bed design, functionalities, and work in progress features. We demonstrate a simple use case of the test-bed, consisting of the identification of a split layer in an AlexNet for a particular hardware scenario and the validation of those results.
