Enhancing performance of IoT networks through high performance computing

Abstract

Performance of IOT based networks generally degrades as the system starts functions due to various reasons especially due to presence of heterogeneity; need to move the data from layer to layer in either of the directions to move the data from sensors to the storage of the same on remote server and to answer queries regarding the functioning of sensing and actuating mechanisms; the queries initiated from a remote location by the users through a Cloud computing interface. The performance degradation is generally due to the presence of heterogeneity and latency at each of the layers contained within an IOT network for forwarding the data packets either way. Maximum performance degradation is expected at gateway or restful services layer. The performance of an IOT network largely dependent of RESTful services layer especially the number of services to be supported are many in number. This paper presents a method of optimizing the performance of the IOT networks through implementation of High performance computing at RESTful services layer.
