Method and apparatus for mobile device based cluster computing infrastructure

Abstract

A mobile computing apparatus including a processor coupled to a wireless communications interface, wherein the processor is configured to execute an init process, wherein the init process comprises a container manager. The processor creates, using the container manager, a plurality of secure containers and executes, in a first secure container of the plurality of secure containers, a first mobile device process. The processor executes, in a second secure container of the plurality of secure containers, a cluster node process, wherein the cluster node process is configured to operate as a node of a cloud service infrastructure.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communication systems, and more particularly to configuring mobile computing devices to form clusters of computing resources. Background technique [0002] Traditional large-scale computing systems rely on powerful clusters of thousands of CPU cores. For example, the Cray XK7 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States uses 560,640 Opteron cores to provide about 17590 trillion floating-point operations per second ( tera-floating point operations per second, TFlops), in which each Opteron 6274 core provides 282 billion floating-point operations per second (giga-floating point operations per second, GFlops). The above-mentioned Cray XK7 costs about US$100 million, requires a large installation space, consumes a lot of power, and requires frequent and expensive maintenance. Because of the high cost and resource requirements of operating these large-scale computing systems, few busin...
