1. A network computing device to accelerate workloads of an edge device, the network computing device comprising:
processor circuitry;
accelerator circuitry;
memory to store a request from the edge device; and
communication circuitry to:
expose a first type of function as a service (FaaS) operation or a second type of FaaS operation to the edge device;
select one of the processor circuitry or the accelerator circuitry to process the first type of FaaS operation or the second type of FaaS operation included in the request; and
forward the request to the selected one of the processor circuitry or the accelerator circuitry.
