Description
Summary:The Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) technique has gained significant popularity in creating diverse content. However, the current deployment of AIGC services in a centralized framework leads to high response times. To address this issue, we propose the integration of collaborative Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology to decrease the processing delay of AIGC services. Nevertheless, existing collaborative MEC methods only facilitate collaborative processing among fixed Edge Servers (ESs), limiting flexibility and resource utilization across heterogeneous ESs for different computing and networking requirements associated with AIGC tasks. This poses challenges for efficient resource allocation. We present an adaptive multi-server collaborative MEC approach tailored for heterogeneous edge environments to achieve efficient AIGC by dynamically allocating task workload across multiple ESs. We formulate our problem as an online linear programming problem aiming to minimize task offloading make-span. This problem is proved to be NP-hard and we propose an online adaptive multi-server selection and allocation algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning that effectively addresses this problem. Additionally, we provide theoretical performance analysis, demonstrating that our algorithm achieves near-optimal solutions within approximate linear time complexity bounds. Finally, experimental results validate the effectiveness of our method by showcasing at least 11.04% reduction in task offloading make-span and a 44.86 % decrease in failure rate compared to state-of-the-art methods.
