Abstract This article aims to analyze the historical evolution of the cost/performance ratio of the Raspberry Pi family of computers, given their representativeness in the field of single-board computers. While comparing the cost/performance ratio of different models of single-board computers is not a new idea, there are no studies focused on evaluating the performance evolution and associated costs of all generations of the Raspberry Pi B line. Our analysis considered all generations of Raspberry Pi B line available on the market until 2023, and we adjusted computer prices based on the 2012 dollar value, the year of the first Raspberry Pi’s launch.

Abstract With the Internet of Things (IoT) growth and customer expectations, the importance of data streaming and streaming processing has increased. Data Streaming refers to the concept where data is processed and transmitted continuously and in real-time without necessarily being stored in a physical location. Personal health monitors and home security systems are examples of data streaming sources. This paper presents a systematic mapping study of the performance analysis of Data Streaming systems in the context of Containerization and Microservices.

Abstract Virtual machines are an essential technology in distributed and pervasive systems. One of its configurable parameters is the topology of the virtual processing system, which can potentially impact its performance. In this work, we verify how different virtual processing topologies affect the performance of VMs running BSD OSes. We conclude that in some types of application the topology does not affect the VM performance, while in others it does, and that the performance impact also depends on the OS adopted by the VM.
