description Vehicular edge computing relies on the computational capabilities of interconnected edge devices to manage incoming requests from vehicles. This offloading process enhances the speed and efficiency of data handling, ultimately boosting the safety, performance, and reliability of connected vehicles. While previous studies have concentrated on processor characteristics, they often overlook the significance of the connecting components. Limited memory and storage resources on edge devices pose challenges, particularly in the context of deep learning, where these limitations can significantly affect performance. The impact of memory contention has not been thoroughly explored, especially regarding perception-based tasks. In our analysis, we identified three distinct behaviors of memory contention, each interacting differently with other resources. Additionally, our investigation of Deep Neural Network (DNN) layers revealed that certain convolutional layers experienced computation time increases exceeding <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>2849</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, while activation layers showed a rise of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>1173.34</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Through our characterization efforts, we can model workload behavior on edge devices according to their configuration and the demands of the tasks. This allows us to quantify the effects of memory contention. To our knowledge, this study is the first to <i>characterize the influence of memory on vehicular edge computational workloads, with a strong emphasis on memory dynamics and DNN layers</i>.
