Proposal of migration system for FPGA container-based IoT control application

Abstract

IoT control applications can be placed in the cloud to reduce the cost of IoT devices. However, the ability to migrate the IoT control application to another server due to system maintenance etc. must be assured. This paper proposes a migration method for real-time IoT control applications that does not affect IoT control of periodically controlled IoT devices with short cycle. We implement and evaluate our FPGA container migration system assuming an IoT control application running on FPGA containers. Experiments show our system is able to migrate the IoT control application with a control cycle of 60ms.
