description Abstract In order to improve the performance of the mobile edge computing (MEC) system, the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has recently been included. This paper investigates the computation performance of an IRS‐aided MEC system, where an access point services multi‐MEC devices by utilizing two distributed IRSs to operate a partial offloading strategy. Through collaboratively constructing the cooperative passive beamforming at the two IRSs, the central processing unit (CPU) frequency, the offloading time allocation, and the transmit power of users, an optimization problem is constructed to maximize the sum computation rate of the proposed system. To tackle this non‐convex issue, the authors first illustrate that the design of passive beamforming is independent to optimize other variables and propose to solve it alternatively. Then the joint optimization problem of other parameters is proved to be a convex problem and is resolvable by adopting the Lagrange dual approach. Compared with the benchmark schemes, the simulation outcomes demonstrated that the performance of the proposed system is vastly improved by deploying two distributed IRSs.
