Cluster type Internet of Things edge gateway device and method

Abstract

The invention provides a cluster type Internet of Things edge gateway device, which comprises an ARM processor, a memory, a memory, a plurality of network switching controllers and a watchdog timer, and is characterized in that the ARM processor is electrically connected with the watchdog timer, the memory and the memory, and the watchdog timer is used for monitoring the running state of the ARM processor; the ARM processor is externally connected with a plurality of application servers through the network switching controller; wherein the ARM processor is used as a main node, the network switching controller connected with the application server is used as a working node, the network switching controller not connected with the application server is used as a redundant node, and the cluster node is composed of the main node, a plurality of working nodes connected with the main node through a communication interface and a plurality of redundant nodes; wherein the main node is used for scheduling and monitoring all working nodes and redundant nodes, the working nodes are used for operating one or more application servers, and the redundant nodes receive application services sent by the main node at any time to implement deployment; and the edge gateway function of the Internet of Things is realized by utilizing hardware cluster and software distribution.

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention belongs to the field of Internet of Things, and in particular, the present invention relates to a cluster type webs.Background technique[0002]Big data analysis is increasingly the key to many fields in science and engineering. The edge calculation is increasingly becoming the key to the field of Internet of Things. The size of the data tends to cause a slow operating speed of the intensive algorithm, such as 3D Fourier transform in geophysics. Another difficulty occurs when the data set is greater than the memory (RAM) available in the computing system. In this case, the data must be divided into a smaller data set and processed separately, which requires a longer processing time. As the data set is getting bigger, the Moore Law is approaching its limits, and the traditional sequential algorithm becomes inefficient and cannot handle the most advanced data analysis tasks. The reasonable solution to improve processing efficiency is to develop...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clustered Internet of Things edge gateway device and method to solve the problem that with the increase in the number of access devices, the edge computing in the Internet of Things gateway has higher and higher resource requirements; the new version of the Internet of Things gateway software upgrade Due to the limited communication distance of the field bus, the IoT gateway needs to be installed in an area close to the equipment, and these areas are often in harsh environments, so it is difficult to replace the hardware when it fails; the IoT gateway is used in industrial applications. Due to the complex on-site environment, it is impossible to use traditional computer clusters to realize its functions; currently, the computers used in applications and IoT gateways generally use embedded computer systems, which forms a bottleneck for edge computing; hardware clusters and software distribution are used to implement Realize the IoT edge gateway function
