Empowering Real-Time IoT Applications: A Brief Review on Leveraging GPU Acceleration for Latency Reduction
摘要
The rapid increase in the number of IoT (Internet of Things) devices and the consequent surge in data transmission pose significant challenges to real-time data processing and telecommunication technologies. This has led to a growing interest in edge computing as a means to mitigate latency issues associated with centralized cloud processing. In this context, the integration of energy-efficient programmable GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) alongside CPUs (Central Processing Units) in IoT devices presents a promising opportunity to address latency challenges in real-time IoT applications. This brief review explores the potential of integrating energy-efficient programmable GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) alongside CPUs (Central Processing Units) in IoT devices to tackle latency issues in real-time IoT applications. The focus is on how GPUs can accelerate real-time IoT applications and minimize latency, providing valuable insights for developers looking to harness the capabilities of GPUs in IoT devices. Key considerations include identifying suitable real-time IoT applications’ parts for GPU offloading and efficiently managing the offloading process.
