Recently, pervasive computing has become a very hot research field. Future Creation Lab., Olympus Corp. and the University of Aizu are working on this future technology to facilitate people's everyday life. The system we have proposed is named UMPPercomp, a ubiquitous multiprocessor-based pipeline processing architecture to support high performance pervasive application development. Until now, we have implemented a prototype system to evaluate the performance of the architecture. However, the structure of the prototype system has some limitations: lack of scalability, inefficient pipeline algorithm, and do not do anything if there is lack of available PEs. So we modify the design to change these disadvantages. We add a UDP server to each component to support scalability and component substitution. We design a parallel algorithm to maximum the usage of PEs, and we also consider the situation of lacking suitable PEs. Finally, we do an experiment on the new system to compare with the old system.

This research concerns a system, which is called Ubiquitous Multi-Processor (UMP) system, which constructs dataflow network dynamically by connecting function-specific execution modules. The software model of the system was developed consisting only of application-specific execution modules (SS-PE) providing fixed functions. We developed a general-purpose execution module (GP-PE) which performs equivalent function to SS-PE by downloading the software library to improve the efficiency of development and reconfigure the function dynamically. The GP-PE was evaluated on the loading time of the library, the processing time of a color space conversion application, and the configuration time of processing on a network. The results of evaluation show that the GP-PE achieves equivalent performance to the SS-PE. Furthermore, the GP-PE does not degrade the system performance regarding dynamic system configuration if the library becomes hundreds of megabytes. This result shows that the GP-PE is suitable for the UMP system in general use.

“…In our earlier work, we proposed a ubiquitous computing scenario which consists of many heterogeneous processing nodes, named Ubiquitous Multi-Processor (UMP).We introduced a basic framework of multiprocessor simulator system based on a multi-way cluster for the research of heterogeneous multiprocessor system with both high scalability and high performance [4]. The objective of [4] is to organize a basic simulator system framework. Furthermore, as the further step, we proposed and implemented a double-buffered communication model to improve communication speed keeping independence from each processor model on the system.…”

With the great progress of the Information Technologies, micro-processors are embedded into everywhere to make our daily life convenient, efficient and comfortable. However, how to integrate distributed resources existing among heterogeneous devices to build pervasive applications that can constantly adapt to the highly dynamic computing environment is still a challenge. On our previous work, by analyzing the pipelining feature within a user task and exploiting the parallelism among the ubiquitous processors, we have proposed UMP-Percomp, which is a Ubiquitous Multiprocessor-based pipeline processing architecture to support high performance pervasive application development. As a case study of the UMP (Ubiquitous Multi-Processor) system, we have implemented a prototype system of the JPEG encoding. In this research, we have studied three different scheduling policies to the prototype system and proposed the best architecture of the UMP system. We have also introduced the cache technology to the proposed resource allocation algorithm. To prove our ideas, a simulation based system was implemented. The experience results revealed that the proposed algorithms made a significant progress over the existing solution.
