Abstract
Provided herein are exemplary systems and methods for an architecture for converged industrial control and real time applications, the architecture comprising a physical network port, a switching module, an embedded ARM core, a network interface controller, and a multi-core computing module. According to further exemplary embodiments, the physical network port is an ethernet port capable of supporting a real-time field bus. The switching module may be configured to support a multiport ethernet switch. The switching module may also be configured to enable a backplane mesh to interconnect multiple foglets. Additionally, the embedded ARM core may be within the switching module, and the embedded ARM core may be configured to support virtualization.
