Abstract
A method and a device for modifying a pattern of data transmissions of a real-time service so that data captured by a one or more clients of a plurality of clients is routed to a worker that is ready to process the data at the point in time the worker receives the data. A scheduling, based at least on obtained information on the pattern of data transmissions of the plurality of clients and on run times of workers, is determined. The scheduling comprises an offset that modifies the pattern of data transmissions of the one or more clients.
Claims22
A method for a real-time service, the method comprising
- for a plurality of clients, obtaining information on a pattern of data transfers of the real-time service;
- for at least one worker, obtaining information on run times, wherein a run time defines a time period during which the at least one worker processes data;
- determining scheduling based at least on the obtained information on the pattern of data transfers and on the run times, wherein the scheduling comprises an offset modifying the pattern of data transfers;
- and
- sending the offset to one or more clients of the plurality of clients.
7-14. (canceled)
A device for a real-time service, the device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the device to:
- for a plurality of clients, obtain information on a pattern of data transfers of the real-time service;
- for at least one worker, obtain information on run times, wherein a run time defines a time period during which the at least one worker processes data;
- determine scheduling based at least on the obtained information on the pattern of data transfers and on the run times, wherein the scheduling comprises an offset modifying the pattern of data transfers;
- and
- send the offset to one or more clients of the plurality of clients.
The device according to claim 11, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the device to:
- detect if the further data sent from the one or more clients are drifting from the offset;
- reschedule if the further data is drifting.
