Abstract
Technologies for accelerating edge device workloads at a device edge network include a network computing device which includes a processor platform that includes at least one processor which supports a plurality of non-accelerated function-as-a-service (FaaS) operations and an accelerated platform that includes at least one accelerator which supports a plurality of accelerated FaaS (AFaaS) operation. The network computing device is configured to receive a request to perform a FaaS operation, determine whether the received request indicates that an AFaaS operation is to be performed on the received request, and identify compute requirements for the AFaaS operation to be performed. The network computing device is further configured to select an accelerator platform to perform the identified AFaaS operation and forward the received request to the selected accelerator platform to perform the identified AFaaS operation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
