Abstract

In order to make use of computational resources available at runtime through fog networked robotics paradigm, it is critical to estimate average performance capacities of deployment hardware that is generally heterogeneous. It is also not feasible to replicate runtime deployment framework, collected sensor data and realistic offloading conditions for robotic environments. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, computational algorithms are dynamically profiled on a development testbed, combined with benchmarking techniques to estimate compute times over the deployment hardware. Estimation in accordance with the present disclosure is based both on Gustafson's law as well as embedded processor benchmarks. Systems and methods of the present disclosure realistically capture parallel processing, cache capacities and differing processing times across hardware.
