Time and Cost Efficient Cloud Resource Allocation for Real-Time Data-Intensive Smart Systems

Abstract

Cloud computing is the de facto platform for deploying resource- and data-intensive real-time applications due to the collaboration of large scale resources operating in cross-administrative domains. For example, real-time systems are generated by smart devices (e.g., sensors in smart homes that monitor surroundings in real-time, security cameras that produce video streams in real-time, cloud gaming, social media streams, etc.). Such low-end devices form a microgrid which has low computational and storage capacity and hence offload data unto the cloud for processing. Cloud computing still lacks mature time-oriented scheduling and resource allocation strategies which thoroughly deliberate stringent QoS. Traditional approaches are sufficient only when applications have real-time and data constraints, and cloud storage resources are located with computational resources where the data are locally available for task execution. Such approaches mainly focus on resource provision and latency, and are prone to missing deadlines during tasks execution due to the urgency of the tasks and limited user budget constraints. The timing and data requirements exacerbate the efficient task scheduling and resource allocation problems. To cope with the aforementioned gaps, we propose a time- and cost-efficient resource allocation strategy for smart systems that periodically offload computational and data-intensive load to the cloud. The proposed strategy minimizes the data files transfer overhead to computing resources by selecting appropriate pairs of computing and storage resources. The celebrated results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique in terms of resource selection and tasks processing within time and budget constraints when compared with the other counterparts.

Smart Cognitive IoT Devices Using Multi-Layer Perception Neural Network on Limited Microcontroller

“…While cloud computing has many benefits such as elasticity and scalability in computational models, IoT data transfer to and from the cloud is still a challenge in this direction, especially for real-time actions. The authors in [ 28 ] tried to propose some offloading mechanisms to overcome such latency problems to and from cloud data transfer. They proposed some kinds of task allocation strategies that are able to optimally select the best resource combination of computation and storage needed to execute some IoT smart tasks.…”

“…SimGrid [6] is a more versatile option, a tool with specific models for simulating various distributed systems, including clusters, content sharing in extensive and local area networks, data centers, and Cloud environments. However, these models only allow simulating the behavior of dedicated computing resources connected through wired networks.…”

“…One of the most common reasons to connect mobile devices into a Cloud computing system is to increase mobile devices' capabilities using code offloading techniques, sending work to compute into high-end devices located in the Cloud [5,6]. Using these techniques, developers can reduce battery consumption and increase mobile devices' capabilities further than their hardware specifications [7][8][9].…”
