5G in Practice: Measuring Emerging Wireless Technology in Rural Iowa for Edge Devices in Distributed Computation Workloads
DescriptionEdge computing, the notion of moving computational tasks from servers to the data-generating network edge, is an increasingly popular model for data processing. 5G wireless technologies offer an opportunity to enable complex distributed edge computing workflows by minimizing the overhead incurred in transmitting data to peer devices. In this work, we demonstrate the use and performance of edge devices in distributed computation workloads using Hadoop MapReduce on a cluster of six 5G-connected Raspberry Pis. Specifically, we first determine the network capabilities (i.e., latency and throughput) across millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G links and then analyze the scalability and performance of our cluster. Our experiment uses 5G radios at the Agricultural and Rural (ARA) Wireless Living Lab, spanning over six miles in diameter.
