Abstract
The proliferation of smart connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices is bringing tremendous challenges in meeting the performance requirement of their supported real-time applications due to their limited resources in terms of computing, storage, and battery life. In addition, the considerable amount of data they generate brings extra burden to the existing wireless network infrastructure. By enabling distributed computing and storage capabilities at the edge of the network, multi-access edge computing (MEC) serves delay sensitive, computationally intensive applications. Managing the heterogeneity of the workload generated by IoT devices, especially in terms of computing and delay requirements, while being cognizant of the cost to network operators, requires an efficient dimensioning of the MEC-enabled network infrastructure. Hence, in this paper, we study and formulate the problem of MEC resource provisioning and workload assignment for IoT services (RPWA) as a mixed integer program to jointly decide on the number and the location of edge servers and applications to deploy, in addition to the workload assignment. Given its complexity, we propose a decomposition approach to solve it which consists of decomposing RPWA into the delay aware load assignment sub-problem and the mobile edge servers dimensioning sub-problem. We analyze the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm through extensive simulations and highlight valuable performance trends and trade-offs as a function of various system parameters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

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
