Researchers at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) have won a patent for their work titled ‘Edge Computing Software Performance Analysis System’.
Dr. Santosh Kumar Gopalan, Professor, Department of Computer Science, and Binu Ayyappan, researcher, won the patent for their work done at the cyber-physical systems lab. The system aims to measure the performance of edge computing systems and identify issues before they are used.
It is based on the evolution of edge computing, which processes data at source, revolutionising network applications. However, the transition has been complicated by the introduction of advanced processors capable of parallelised computation, according to a communication.
The hardware and software framework is designed to measure the performance characteristics of applications and algorithms, with a paradigm called behavioural analysis. This approach uses machine learning-based models to separate internal interactions within software modules, revealing their impact on system performance, it said.
The researchers said the system offered deep insights into how software modules interacted with hardware and affected the overall performance. With its promise of seamless deployment and meticulous performance evaluation, it holds the potential to optimise efficiency and enhance reliability of applications in edge computing systems, they added.
