A new smooth weighted round-robin scheduling method (BF-SWRR) reduces railway network data processing delays to under 1 second. This approach also improves cluster load balancing and decreases CPU/memory usage by approximately 15%.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Data Engineering
- Network Systems
Background:
- Massive monitoring data in railway networks causes significant processing delays.
- Imbalanced task distribution in scheduling centers further exacerbates these issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address processing delays and task imbalance in railway network monitoring.
- To introduce an efficient scheduling method for real-time streaming data.
Main Methods:
- A novel smooth weighted round-robin scheduling based on backpressure flow control (BF-SWRR) was developed.
- The method utilizes message queue models and real-time stream computing.
- Distributed stream computing and parallel processing segment data sources.
Main Results:
- The BF-SWRR method effectively controls system delay to within 1 second.
- Setting cluster parallelism to 8 reduces CPU and memory occupancy by approximately 15%.
- The BF-SWRR method achieves a more balanced cluster load during stream computing.
Conclusions:
- The BF-SWRR method offers a viable solution for real-time data processing in railway networks.
- Improved scheduling enhances system efficiency and resource utilization.
- This approach contributes to more reliable and responsive railway monitoring systems.
