    Exploring hardware accelerator offload for the Internet of Things
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 62, No. 5-6, 2020) Cooke, Ryan A.; Fahmy, Suhaib A.
    The Internet of Things is manifested through a large number of low-capability connected devices. This means that for many applications, computation must be offloaded to more capable platforms. While this has typically been cloud datacenters accessed over the Internet, this is not feasible for latency sensitive applications. In this paper we investigate the interplay between three factors that contribute to overall application latency when offloading computations in IoT applications. First, different platforms can reduce computation latency by differing amounts. Second, these platforms can be traditional server-based or emerging network-attached, which exhibit differing data ingestion latencies. Finally, where these platforms are deployed in the network has a significant impact on the network traversal latency. All these factors contributed to overall application latency, and hence the efficacy of computational offload. We show that network-attached acceleration scales better to further network locations and smaller base computation times that traditional server based approaches.

    The Hofbox as a decentralised solution for agricultural operations
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Weis, Martin; Bökle, Sebastian; Bauer, Christian
    In digital farming applications cloud-based software offers are predominantly used, which simplifies software and data handling, but lacks transparency of data storage and usage. Internet access becomes essential, which makes time-critical and weather-dependant applications dependent on internet connectivity posing risks for timely execution. To address these issues, a Hofbox concept is being developed that provides openly available software components on local computer hardware. It is based on a modular structure with automatically installable and configurable microservices. The Hofbox thus enables local data storage and processing as well as targeted data exchange via cloud systems that are organised in a decentralised manner. Machinery rings and farmers are targeted decentralised entities. The connected farm boxes are maintained according to an edge computing approach. All components are open source thus ensuring adaptability and expandability, focusing on the use of geodata for small and medium-sized farms.
