Abstract
Reducing energy consumption is a vital and challenging problem for the edge computing devices since they are always energy-limited. To tackle this problem, a deep Q-learning model with multiple DVFS (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling) algorithms was proposed for energy-efficient scheduling (DQL-EES). However, DQL-EES is highly unstable when using a single stacked auto-encoder to approximate the Q-function. Additionally, it cannot distinguish the continuous system states well since it depends on a Q-table to generate the target values for training parameters. In this paper, a double deep Q-learning model is proposed for energy-efficient edge scheduling (DDQ-EES). Specially, the proposed double deep Q-learning model includes a generated network for producing the Q-value for each DVFS algorithm and a target network for producing the target Q-values to train the parameters. Furthermore, the rectified linear units (ReLU) function is used as the activation function in the double deep Q-learning model, instead of the Sigmoid function in QDL-EES, to avoid gradient vanishing. Finally, a learning algorithm based on experience replay is developed to train the parameters of the proposed model. The proposed model is compared with DQL-EES on EdgeCloudSim in terms of energy saving and training time. Results indicate that our proposed model can save average 2%-2.4% energy and achieve a higher training efficiency than QQL-EES, proving its potential for energy-efficient edge scheduling.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
