We describe a new enhanced cloud computing architecture, called the Proximal Workspace, to allow access and interaction between lightweight wearable I/O devices, e.g., video glasses, earphones, wrist displays, body sensors, etc., and ubiquitous applications that represent a new generation of computation-and-data-intensive programs. While wearable devices offer an easy way for these applications to collect user data and offer feedback, the applications cannot be run natively and completely on these devices because of high resource demands. Making these applications available via a cloud, while promoting ubiquitous access and providing the necessary resources to execute the applications, induces large delays due to network latency. The Proximal Workspace provides nearby computing power to the user's devices and thus mediates between them and the cloud's computing resources. The workspace is designed to run any subset of activities that cannot be run on a user's device due to computation speed or storage size, and cannot be run on a cloud server due to network latency. We also describe a powerful abstraction for networked communication, called Networked Device Drivers, which provide the underlying communication support for Proximal Workspaces in a way that promotes simplicity and transparency.

Abstract-We present performance results of a new distributed I/O software architecture to support remote applications interacting with local I/O devices. The architecture emphasizes network transparency and ease of customization/extensibility in support of the vastly different needs of various applications and devices that can benefit from remote I/O. Networked I/O is achieved via a networked device driver that is split into two parts, one on each side of the network. An I/O stream that is sourced at one end and sinked at the other may be modified by a set of pipelined transformation modules. Each module comes in a pair, one on each side of the network, with one side typically applying some operation and the other side applying a corresponding one, such as encoding and decoding the format of the data or pausing and resuming the sending of messages. Because of the paired nature of transformation modules, the system is capable of supporting the modification of the I/O stream in a variety of ways to compensate for network issues, one of the key problems of remote I/O, while remaining transparent to the application. We show that even with an implementation that operates almost entirely at user level (i.e., outside the operating system), good levels of performance that are adequate for even high intensity I/O, both in terms of efficiency and throughput, can be achieved.
