Abstract
Modern Cloud/Edge architectures are composed of computingnodes belonging to multiple layers, including Cloud facilities, Edge/Fognodes and sensors/actuators. In this paper, we present an architecturethat includes also quantum computing devices, in two ways:(i) quantum devices can become, in the next future, a viable alternativefor executing computation that is intractable classically and(ii) they can be exploited to assist resource management and schedulingwithin the architecture itself. Furthermore, we describe theprocedure through which a typical resource assignment problem,which has NP-hard complexity, can be transformed into a formulationthat can be tackled by QAOA, a renowned hybrid quantumalgorithm, and we present some preliminary results obtained for asimple instance, a knapsack problem where an Edge node needs toselect and retrieve a set of processes from the Cloud.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
