DISTRIBUTED LOAD PROCESSING USING DRIFT-BASED DYNAMIC CLUSTERS OF INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES

摘要

For distributed processing using drift-based dynamic clustering of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, at a central device, a data source to be used for processing a workload is determined. A set is selected of devices operating within a threshold distance from the data source at a first time. A first subset of the set of devices is selected to form a cluster of devices. Each device in the first subset satisfies a clustering condition. A first device in the first subset is instructed to configure an application at the first device to participate in the cluster and process the workload. From a performance check on the first device, a change is discovered in a performance metric. In response to the change resulting from an increased demand for a computing resource at the first device, the first device is replaced with a second device from the first subset.
