O paradigma de Computação em Nuvem Móvel (MCC – Mobile Cloud Computing) permite estender os recursos computacionais dos dispositivos móveis através da utilização das técnicas de offloading computacional possibilitando um melhor desempenho as aplicações e uma redução no consumo das baterias dos dispositivos. Entretanto, a técnica de offloading nem sempre traz benefícios para o dispositivo móvel em situações de constante mobilidade do usuário, já que cada mudança de rede requer que o processo de offloading seja refeito. Esta dissertação propõe uma solução para otimizar o consumo de energia e o tempo de resposta durante as operações de offloading computacional quando o dispositivo muda de ponto de acesso. A proposta considera um esquema de gerenciamento de mobilidade baseado em Software Defined Networking (SDN) e técnica de caching remoto, que permite ao usuário receber o resultado do offloading no próximo acesso à rede, mesmo que esse fique desconectado por um longo período. A solução foi implementada em um testbed WiFi, com acesso ao ambiente MCC utilizando cloudlet baseada na plataforma OpenStack e integrada ao controlador SDN OpenDaylight. O consumo de energia obtido pela proposta que utiliza SDN/OpenFlow para o gerenciamento de mobilidade chegou a ser 11,33 vezes menor e a velocidade de processamento foi 3,23 vezes maior que do ambiente tradicional. O sistema de caching remoto, apesar de se mostrar útil em relação à rápida entrega dos resultados já processados, elevou consideravelmente o consumo de energia da bateria. A técnica de caching remoto é indicada para os casos nos quais a aplicação envia à cloudlet um grande volume de dados para ser processado e o nível da bateria do dispositivo encontra-se em estado não crítico ou quando o usuário enfrenta um longo período sem comunicação com a cloudlet. / Although the great technological evolution in the mobile devices hardware and wireless networks, remains significant limitations of these devices regarding processing, storage, and energy, when compared to desktops and servers. The paradigm of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) allows to extend the computational resources of the mobile devices through the use of computational offloading techniques, achieving a better performance on the part of the applications and a reduction in the battery consumption of the devices. The offloading technique does not always bring benefits to a mobile device in situations of high mobility since each network change requires the execution of the offloading process. This dissertation proposes a solution to optimize energy consumption and response times during the computational offloading operations when the device change of access points (AP). To this end, the proposal considers for such, a mobility management scheme based on SDN (Software Defined Networking) and a remote caching technique, that allows the user to receive the result from offloading in the next AP, even if he stays disconnected for an extended period. The solution was implemented in one Wi-Fi testbed, with access to the MCC environment using cloudlet based on the OpenStack platform and integrated with the OpenDaylight SDN controller. The achieved reduction of energy consumption for the mobility management proposal arrived to be 11.33 times lower, and the processing speed was 3.23 times bigger that of the traditional environment. The remote caching system, although useful in fast delivering the already processed results, considerably raised the battery energy consumption. Thus, the applicability of remote caching limits it to the cases where the application sends to the cloudlet an enormous volume of data to be processed and the battery level of the device is not critical or when the user faces an extended period without communication with the cloudlet.

[pt] MODELAGEM PARA AVALIAÇÃO DOS ALÍVIOS CRÍTICOS EM PLATAFORMAS DE PETRÓLEO / [en] MODELING FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CRITICAL OFFLOADINGS ON OIL PLATFORMS

SILVIA HELENA FERRARO 27 July 2021 (has links)
[pt] A crescente produção de petróleo em águas brasileiras torna cada vez mais importante a gestão logística de alívios das plataformas produtoras. A programação de alívios das plataformas deve ser realizada de forma antecipativa, evitando a parada de produção por falta de espaço disponível para armazenagem. Uma interrupção da produção de petróleo, por menor que seja, causa uma perda direta de receita para a empresa produtora. Alívios realizados muito próximos ao completo enchimento de todos os tanques da plataforma representam risco iminente de perda de produção e são denominados alívios críticos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um estudo estatístico com dados históricos de 2016 a 2019 para criar um modelo multivariado de previsão dos alívios críticos em uma grande empresa de petróleo brasileira. O modelo de regressão dinâmica foi utilizado para avaliar como as variáveis presentes no processo de programação de alívios se relacionam com o percentual mensal de alívios críticos. A partir do modelo gerado foram identificadas que as variáveis de produção mensal, estoque médio, previsão do tempo, lote médio e exportações mensais impactam no percentual de alívios críticos do mês. Foi realizada uma análise de sensibilidade, a partir da qual foi possível concluir que a gestão de estoques da empresa é o fator fundamental para a redução dos alívios críticos e consequentemente a redução das chances de perda de produção. / [en] The growing oil production in Brazilian waters makes the logistic management of offloadings from the platforms increasingly important. The platform offloading schedule must be carried out in advance, avoiding production stoppage due to lack of available storage space. An interruption in oil production, however small, causes a direct revenue loss for the producing company. Offloadings performed very close to the complete filling of all the platform tanks represent an imminent loss of production risk and are called critical offloadings. This work aims to carry out a statistical study with historical data from 2016 to 2019 to create a multivariate model for forecasting critical offloadings in a large Brazilian oil company. The dynamic regression model was used to evaluate how the variables present in the offloading scheduling process are related to the monthly percentage of critical offloadings. From the developed model, it was identified that the variables of monthly production, average stock, weather forecast, average batch and monthly exports impact the percentage of critical offloadings of the month. A sensitivity analysis was carried out, from which it was possible to conclude that the company s inventory management is the fundamental factor for the reduction of critical offloadings and, consequently, the reduction of the chances of production loss.

Individual Differences in Multitasking : Support for Spatiotemporal Offloading

Todorov, Ivo January 2017 (has links)
In both the private and work spheres, multitasking among three or more activities has become and is continuing to evolve as a pervasive element of everyday life, and recent technological advances only seem to be exacerbating the process. Despite attempts to understand the mental processes that let humans successfully multitask, little is known about the functional cognitive level at which these mental processes take place. This thesis makes a case for the involvement of spatial ability (among other cognitive abilities) in successful multitasking behavior. It focuses on the importance of the cognitive off-loading of executive control demands onto spatial ability, due to the inherent complexity of relationships between task goals and deadlines in multitasking scenarios. Importantly, it presents a working hypothesis—the spatiotemporal hypothesis of multitasking—as a tool for making specific predictions about multitasking performance, based on individual and sex differences in spatial ability. In Study 1, individual differences in spatial ability and executive functions emerged as independent predictors of multitasking performance. When spatial ability was decomposed into its subcomponents, only the coordinate (metric), but not categorical (nonmetric), processing of spatial relations was related to multitasking performance. Males outperformed females in both spatial ability and multitasking, and the effects were moderated by menstrual changes, in that sex differences in coordinate spatial processing and multitasking were observed between males and females in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, but not between males and females at menses. In Study II, multitasking performance reflected age- and sex-related differences in executive functioning and spatial ability, suggesting that executive functions contribute to multitasking performance across the adult life span, and that reliance on spatial skills for coordinating deadlines is reduced with advancing age. The results of Study III, in which the spatiotemporal hypothesis was directly scrutinized, suggest that the spatial disruption of multiple deadlines interferes with multitasking performance. Overall, these findings suggest that multitasking performance, under certain conditions, reflects independent contributions of spatial ability and executive functioning. Moreover, the results support the distinction between categorical and coordinate spatial processing, suggesting that these two basic relational processes are selectively affected by female sex hormones and are differentially effective, even across the age span, in transforming and handling temporal patterns as spatial relations in the context of multitasking. Finally, fluctuations of sex hormones exhibit a modulating effect on sex differences in spatial ability and multitasking performance. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following paper was unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Manuscript.</p>

La mobilité du code dans les systèmes embarqués / The Code mobility in embedded systems

Djiken, Guy Lahlou 14 December 2018 (has links)
Avec l’avènement du nomadisme, des périphériques mobiles, de la virtualisation et du Cloud Computing ces dernières années, de nouvelles problématiques sont nées aux vues des considérations écologiques, de la gestion d’énergie, de la qualité de service, des normes sécuritaires et bien d’autres aspects liés à nos sociétés. Pour apporter une solution à ces problèmes, nous avons défini la notion de Cloudlet tel un Cloud local où peuvent se virtualiser des périphériques et ses applications embarquées. Ensuite, nous avons conçu une architecture distribuée basée sur ce pattern d’architecture lié au Cloud Computing et à la virtualisation de ressources. Ces définitions permettent de placer notre travail par rapport aux autres approches de déportation d’applications mobiles.D’autre part, un réseau de Cloudlets permet la protection de l’activité effectuée sur un périphérique mobile par la déportation d’applications embarquées dans une machine virtuelle s’exécutant dans la Cloudlet, ainsi que le suivi des usagers dans leur déplacement.Ces définitions nous ont guidées dans l’écriture de spécifications formelles via une algèbre de processus d’ordre supérieure. Elles autorisent le calcul de la sémantique opérationnelle pour les différentes études de cas basées sur ce concept de Cloudlet. Ces spécifications ont permis de décrire une nouvelle vision de la composition des périphériques virtuels applicables à tous les périphériques, les capteurs ou les actuateurs. L’ensemble des équations obtenues constitue une définition formelle de référence non seulement pour le prototypage d’une Cloudlet mais aussi pour la construction des automates temporisés.En se basant sur la structure de nos spécifications, nous avons construit un modèle d’automates temporisés pour un réseau de Cloudlets. Par l’emploi de technique de model checking, nous avons établi des propriétés temporelles montrant que toute exécution d’une application mobile sur un périphérique mobile pouvait être déportée dans une Cloudlet sous condition d’une structure applicative. Ces travaux ont abouti à des choix techniques donnant lieu à un prototype d’une telle architecture distribuée par l’emploi de serveurs OSGi. D’une part, nous fournissons une architecture logicielle d’application mobile. D’autre part, nous mettons en œuvre le principe de migration vers une Cloudlet voisine et son retour. Ces résultats sont une validation de nos choix initiaux et attestent de la réalité de nos travaux. Ils autorisent la prise de mesure permettant de définir le coût d’une migration vers une Cloudlet pendant une exécution, ainsi que son suivi au cours du déplacement de l’usager / With the advent of nomadism, mobile devices, virtualization and cloud computing in recent years, new problems have arisen taking into account ecological concerns, energy management, quality of service, security standards and many other aspects related to our societies. To solve these problems, we define the concept of Cloudlet as a local cloud where virtual devices and embedded applications can be virtualized. Then, we design a distributed architecture based on this architectural pattern related to cloud computing and virtualization of resources. These notions allow us to position our work among other approaches to offload mobile applications in a Cloudlet.On the other hand, a network of Cloudlets helps to secure the activity carried out on a mobile device by offloading embedded applications in a running virtual machine in the Cloudlet, and also to monitor users during their movements.These definitions guided us towards writing formal specifications via a higher order processes of algebra. They facilitate the calculation of operational semantics for different case studies based on this Cloudlet concept. These specifications foster a new vision for designing virtual devices suitable to all devices, sensors or actuators. This set of equations constitutes a formal definition relevant not only for prototyping a Cloudlet but also for constructing a timed automata system.Following the structure of our specifications, we built a model of timed automata for a network of Cloudlets. Exploiting the model checking techniques, we have established temporal properties showing that any execution of a mobile application on a mobile device could be offloaded in a Cloudlet depending on a given software architecture. This work resulted in making technical choices leading to a prototype of such a distributed architecture using an OSGi server. A first result leads us to define a software architecture for mobile applications. Secondly, we implement the principle of migration to a Cloudlet neighbor. Our tests validate our initial choices and confirm the hypotheses of our work. They allow taking measures in order to assess the cost of an offloading to a Cloudlet during runtime, as well as keeping track during user’s movements

As aplicações como streaming de vídeo e jogos online demandam por maior taxa de transmissão de dados, essa alta demanda corrobora para um a sobrecarga das redes móveis baseadas por radiofrequência, de modo a culminar em uma possível escassez do espectro RF. Por tanto, este trabalho busca otimizar o offloading entre LTE e VLC, e para isso é utilizado uma metodologia baseado em aprendizado por reforço denominada de Q-Learning. O algoritmo utiliza como entrada as variáveis do ambiente que estão relacionadas à qualidade do sinal, densidade e velocidade do usuário para aprender e selecionar a melhor conexão. Por tanto, os resultados da simulação mostram a eficiência da metodologia proposta em comparação com o esquema RSS predominante na literatura da área. já que provou por métricas de QoS, suportar maiores taxas de transmissão de dados, assim como, garantiu uma melhoria de 18% em relação as interrupções de serviço a medida que o número de usuários aumenta no sistema. / The increase in the consumption of data traffic is motivated by the increasing number of devices like smartphone and tablets, since there is a need to be connected with everything and with everyone. Applications such as streaming video and online games require a higher rate of data transmission, this high demand corroborates the overload of mobile networks based on radio frequency, so as to culminate in a possible shortage of the RF spectrum. Therefore, this work seeks to optimize offloading between LTE and VLC, and for this a methodology based on reinforcement learning called Q-Learning is used. The algorithm uses as input the environment variables that are related to the signal quality, density and speed of the user to learn and select the best connection. Therefore, the results of the simulation show the efficiency of the proposed methodology in comparison with the predominant RSS scheme in the area literature. as it has been proven by QoS metrics to support higher data rates, as well as ensuring an 18% improvement over service interruptions as the number of users increases in the system.

Computation offloading for algorithms in absence of the Cloud

Sthapit, Saurav January 2018 (has links)
Mobile cloud computing is a way of delegating complex algorithms from a mobile device to the cloud to complete the tasks quickly and save energy on the mobile device. However, the cloud may not be available or suitable for helping all the time. For example, in a battlefield scenario, the cloud may not be reachable. This work considers neighbouring devices as alternatives to the cloud for offloading computation and presents three key contributions, namely a comprehensive investigation of the trade-off between computation and communication, Multi-Objective Optimisation based approach to offloading, and Queuing Theory based algorithms that present the benefits of offloading to neighbours. Initially, the states of neighbouring devices are considered to be known and the decision of computation offloading is proposed as a multi-objective optimisation problem. Novel Pareto optimal solutions are proposed. The results on a simulated dataset show up to 30% increment in performance even when cloud computing is not available. However, information about the environment is seldom known completely. In Chapter 5, a realistic environment is considered such as delayed node state information and partially connected sensors. The network of sensors is modelled as a network of queues (Open Jackson network). The offloading problem is posed as minimum cost problem and solved using Linear solvers. In addition to the simulated dataset, the proposed solution is tested on a real computer vision dataset. The experiments on the random waypoint dataset showed up to 33% boost on performance whereas in the real dataset, exploiting the temporal and spatial distribution of the targets, a significantly higher increment in performance is achieved.

System Design for Opportunistic Networks

Kouyoumdjieva, Sylvia T. January 2015 (has links)
Device-to-device communication has been suggested as a complement to traditional cellular networks as a means of offloading cellular traffic. In this thesis we explore a solution for device-to-device communication based on opportunistic content distribution in a content-centric network. Communication opportunities arise as mobile nodes roam around in an area and occasionally enter in direct communication range with one another. We consider a node to be a pedestrian equipped with a mobile device and explore the properties of opportunistic communication in the context of content dissemination in urban areas. The contributions of this thesis lie in three areas. We first study human mobility as one of the main enablers of opportunistic communication. We introduce traces collected from a realistic pedestrian mobility simulator and demonstrate that the performance of opportunistic networks is not very sensitive to the accurate estimation of the probability distributions of mobility parameters. However, capturing the space in which mobility occurs may be of high importance. Secondly, we design and implement a middleware for opportunistic content-centric networking, and we evaluate it via a small-scale testbed, as well as through extensive simulations. We conclude that energy-saving mechanisms should be part of the middleware design, while caching should be considered only as an add-on feature. Thirdly, we present and evaluate three different energy-saving mechanisms in the context of opportunistic networking: a dual-radio architecture, an asynchronous duty-cycling scheme, and an energy-aware algorithm which takes into account node selfishness. We evaluate our proposals analytically and via simulations. We demonstrate that when a critical mass of participants is available, the performance of the opportunistic network is comparable to downloading contents directly via the cellular network in terms of energy consumption while offloading large traffic volumes from the operator. / <p>QC 20151120</p>

Akcelerace síťových karet v Linuxu / Network Interface Controller Offloading in Linux

Hlavatý, Ondřej January 2018 (has links)
Modern network interface controllers allow the host to offload packet processing to hardware in order to improve performance. At the present time, the advanced features are utilized in the Linux kernel by offloading the Traffic Control subsystem. Since this subsystem has been designed for a completely different purpose, its usage for hardware offloading is impractical and unreliable. Furthermore, in its current state the subsystem is not capable of utilizing all hardware features, which are often poorly documented. The presented work adopts a different approach to the problem. Five high-end controllers and their packet-processing pipelines were examined in detail. Accounting for their projected future development, common traits and features were identified. The researched information was used to draft a proposal for a new Linux subsystem, more compatible with hardware offloading than the current solution. The proposed subsystem defines a sufficiently descriptive interface to utilize the majority of hardware-offloaded features while avoiding common problems caused by excessively generalized approach of Traffic Control.

Despite advances in their hardware, these devices have energy constraints regarded to their poor computing performance. Therefore, on this context, a new paradigm called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has emerged. MCC studies new ways to extend the computational and energy resources, on mobile devices using the offloading techniques. A literature survey about MCC, has shown that there is no support heterogeneity on reported studies. In response, we propose a framework called MpOS (Multi-platform Offloading System), which supports the offloading technique in mobile application development, for two mobile platforms (Android and Windows Phone). Two case studies were developed with MpOS solution in order to evaluate the framework for each mobile platform. These case studies show how the offloading technique works on several perspectives. In BenchImage experiment, the offloading performance was analyzed, concerning to its execution on a remote execution site (a cloudlet on local network and public cloud in the Internet). The Collision application promotes the analysis of the offloading technique performance on real-time application, also using different serialization systems. In both experiments, results show some situations where it was better to run locally on smarphone, than performing the offloading operation and vice versa. / Os dispositivos móveis, especificamente os smartphones e os tablets, evoluíram bastante em termos computacionais nos últimos anos, e estão cada vez mais presentes no cotidiano das pessoas. Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos, a principal limitação desses dispositivos está relacionada com a questão energética e com seu baixo desempenho computacional, quando comparado com um notebook ou computador de mesa. Com base nesse contexto, surgiu o paradigma do Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), o qual estuda formas de estender os recursos computacionais e energéticos dos dispositivos móveis através da utilização das técnicas de offloading. A partir do levantamento bibliográfico dos frameworks em MCC verificou-se, para o problema da heterogeneidade em plataformas móveis, ausência de soluções de offloading. Diante deste problema, esta dissertação apresenta um framework denominado de MpOS (Multiplataform Offloading System), que suporta a técnica de offloading, em relação ao desenvolvimento de aplicações para diferentes plataformas móveis, sendo desenvolvido inicialmente para as plataformas Android e Windows Phone. Para validação foram desenvolvidas para cada plataforma móvel, duas aplicações móveis, denominadas de BenchImage e Collision, que demonstram o funcionamento da técnica de offloading em diversos cenários. No caso do experimento realizado com BenchImage foi analisado o desempenho da aplicação móvel, em relação à execução local, no cloudlet server e em uma nuvem pública na Internet, enquanto no experimento do Collision (um aplicativo de tempo real) foi analisado o desempenho do offloading, utilizando também diferentes sistemas de serialização de dados. Em ambos os experimentos houve situações que era mais vantajoso executar localmente no smartphone, do que realizar a operação de offloading e vice-versa, por causa de diversos fatores associados com a qualidade da rede e com volume de processamento exigido nesta operação.
