Doctoral research, just starting

ARGENTIC

Every AI workload has to run somewhere. My PhD is about teaching a system to decide where, and to keep deciding as conditions change.

Status
Just starting. More here soon.

01 The question

Training, inference, moving data: each job could run close to the people using it, in the cloud, or on a supercomputer. Something has to choose, every time, while the conditions keep changing.

  • At the edge
  • In the cloud
  • On a supercomputer

ARGENTIC is a Horizon Europe project on agentic AI across that whole range. My part is the decision: a scheduler that learns, with reinforcement learning, where each workload should go.

02 What it will weigh

Four things pulling in different directions

  1. 01

    Latency

    How long someone waits for the answer.

  2. 02

    Energy

    How much energy the job uses where it runs.

  3. 03

    Data locality

    Whether the data can stay where it already is.

  4. 04

    Privacy

    Whether the data is allowed to leave at all.

03 What comes next

In progress

More here soon

The work is starting now. Design notes, experiments and results will appear on this page as they happen.
