Abstract
This work presents a perspective on addressing the underutilization of computing resources in FPGA SoC devices deployed in 5G radio and edge computing infrastructure. The initial step in this approach involves developing a resource management layer capable of dynamically migrating and scaling functions within these devices in response to contextual events. This layer serves as the foundation for designing a hierarchical, data-driven micro-orchestrator responsible for managing the lifecycle of functions in FPGA SoC devices. In this paper, the proposed resource management layer is utilized to reconfigure a function based on events identified by a computer vision edge application.
