Assignee: INTEL CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. An apparatus comprising:
means for obtaining, in response to a request from a first edge entity of one or more edge entities in an edge network environment to execute a function, energy criteria associated with the request;
means for predicting first thermal properties of a device based on a predictive model;
means for distributing the predictive model to the one or more edge entities to cause execution of the distributed predictive model at the one or more edge entities;
means for obtaining second thermal properties of the one or more edge entities based on the execution of the distributed predictive model at the one or more edge entities;
means for causing execution of the function by the device when in response to the first thermal properties of the device satisfying the energy criteria;
means for selecting, in response to the first thermal properties of the device not satisfying the energy criteria, a second edge entity from the one or more edge entities that is able to satisfy the energy criteria; and
means for forwarding the request to the second edge entity.
