Container-based mobile code offloading support system in cloud environment and offloading method thereof

Abstract

The present invention discloses a container-based mobile code offloading support system in a cloud environment and the offloading method thereof, comprising a front-end processing layer, a runtime layer and a back-end resource layer. The front-end processing layer is responsible for responding to an arrived request and managing a status of a container, which is realized by a request distribution module, a code caching module and a monitoring and scheduling module; the runtime layer provides the same execution environment as that of a terminal, which is realized by a runtime module consisted of a plurality of mobile cloud containers; and the back-end resource layer solves incompatibility of a cloud platform with an mobile terminal environment and provides underlying resource support for a runtime, which is realized by a resource sharing module and an extended kernel module within a host operating system. The present invention utilizes the built mobile cloud container as the runtime environment for offloading code, ensuring execution requirements of offloading tasks and improving the computing performance of a cloud; cooperation between respective modules makes a further optimization to the performance of the platform, guaranteeing an efficient operation for the system.
