Network edge (e.g., “fog”) computing systems may be positioned between cloud computing components and endpoints (e.g., “things”) in a wide variety of settings such as, for example, Internet of Things (IoT) architectures, artificial intelligence (AI) architectures, and so forth. While network edge computing systems may provide for computational processing of large quantities of data (e.g., prior to transmission to the cloud), there remains considerable room for improvement. For example, conventional network edge computing systems may completely forego the use of power management functionality and other latency-inducing features to obtain more predictable (e.g., deterministic) compute timing.
