Project description
Providing the EU with a technological boost through edge computing
Edge computing technologies offer numerous benefits for industries that can develop and adopt them. The EU-funded CLEVER project aims to give the EU a competitive edge by introducing innovative solutions in the area of hardware accelerators, design stack, and middleware software that will enhance the adaptability and resource efficiency of edge computing platforms. The project will also develop a resource management framework for seamless use of federated resources, enabling EU organisations in many sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, smart environments and augmented reality, to use edge computing more effectively and efficiently, thus unlocking new technological advancements across European industries.
Objective
CLEVER proposes a series of innovations in the area of hardware accelerators, design stack, and middleware software that revolutionize the ability of edge computing platforms to operate federatedly, leveraging sparse resources that are coordinated to create a powerful swarm of resources. CLEVER technologies will support the deep edge computing paradigm, moving computing services closer to the end user or the source of the data to reduce power consumption, reduce capacity requirements, and latency for mission critical applications. Furthermore, CLEVER will overcome traditional limitations of edge computing in terms of limited resource availability by providing an effective framework for seamless use of federated resources in the edge-cloud continuum.
CLEVER will demonstrate processing solutions for AI at the edge through four use cases: (1) digital twin for in-factory optimization, (2) smart agriculture for high yield eco-farms, (3) fully automated material deployment, and (4) augmented reality for shopping sites.
Through the achievement of its goals, the CLEVER project will help to position Europe at the forefront of the intelligent edge computing field, enabling growth across many sectors (manufacturing, agriculture, smart environments, augmented reality, and others). By lowering the barriers for utilising edge computing for artificial intelligence applications, CLEVER will open the door for European Industries and SMEs to leverage state of the art technologies, driving their development and growth as leaders in their sectors.
