1. A method, comprising:
initiating, at a cellular base station, a shadow computation of a main computation executing for a mobile device, wherein the main computation comprises a computational task, and wherein the shadow computation is at least a part of or a derivative of the main computation; and
executing, by the cellular base station, the shadow computation;
determining that a transfer criterion for sending the shadow computation to a different base station is met, wherein the determination that the transfer criterion is met comprises a determination that the different base station has less network traffic than the cellular base station or that the different base station has greater compute capability that the cellular base station; and
sending, by the cellular base station, the shadow computation to the different base station based on the determination that the transfer criterion is met.
