About

This project has made the following contributions,

1. A modified form of the Bi-section search algorithm first presented in [1] is implemented. The trends observed are as expected. See, results/bi_search directory.

2. An efficient local search algorithm is proposed which finds the offloading schemes which are very close to the optimal offloading schemes using very little computation efforts as compared to the search algorithms presented in [1].

3. Numerical benchmarking has been done on the basis of parameters used in [1] for each algorithm implemented to verify the correctness and to support our claims. See, results/local_search and See, results/naive_search directory.

Dependencies

1. Python 3.6.9
2. Matplotlib 2.1.0

Testing

Please follow the steps given below for running tests,

1. Change your directory the root of this repository that is, /path/to/MECOptimalOffloading.
2. Execute, python3 mecoptimaloffloading/tests/test_[x]_search.py, where [x] can be replaced by bi for testing Bi-section search implementation, local for testing local search algorithm, and naive for testing naive search algorithm.

You can modify the config which is dict python variable for changing the parameters according to the conditions. The keys use strings which are in accordance with the notations used in [1].
