Applications’ performance can fluctuate depending on the input stream. This unpredictability is due to the variety in data arrival frequency and size, complexity, and other factors. Researchers are constantly investigating new ways to mitigate the impact of these variations on performance with self-adaptive techniques involving elasticity or micro-batching. However, there is a lack of benchmarks capable of creating test scenarios to further evaluate these techniques. This work extends and improves the SPBench benchmarking framework to support dynamic micro-batching and data stream frequency management. We also propose a set of algorithms that generates the most commonly used frequency patterns for benchmarking stream processing in related work. It allows the creation of a wide variety of test scenarios.

Applications’ performance can fluctuate depending on the input stream. This unpredictability is due to the variety in data arrival frequency and size, complexity, and other factors. Researchers are constantly investigating new ways to mitigate the impact of these variations on performance with self-adaptive techniques involving elasticity or micro-batching. However, there is a lack of benchmarks capable of creating test scenarios to further evaluate these techniques. This work extends and improves the SPBench benchmarking framework to support dynamic micro-batching and data stream frequency management.

Neste trabalho foram avaliadas as técnicas de deep learning utilizadas, culturas abordadas, bases de dados utilizadas, desafios relacionados à agricultura e deep learning, e entre outros insights importantes. Os resultados apresentados mostraram que deep learning é aplicada com sucesso em diversas áreas da agricultura. Na pecuária, por exemplo, a maioria dos resultados atingiram 95% de acurácia. No total, 47.2% dos artigos atingiram acurácia maior que 95%. Isso mostra que ainda há muito trabalho a ser feito na área de deep learning na agricultura. Sendo assim, as análises apresentadas neste trabalho são de extrema importância para dar suporte a novas pesquisas com uso de deep learning na agricultura, e também para definir as possíveis lacunas a serem exploradas.}, keywords = {Agriculture, Deep learning, Literature review}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} } Com o crescimento do poder computacional, algoritmos de deep learning atingiram bons resultados em inúmeras áreas. Agricultura é uma das áreas que estão buscando aplicar esses algoritmos nos mais variados domínios.
