The IoT-driven large-scaled systems consist of connected things with on-chip executable embedded software. These light-weighted embedded things have limited hardware space, especially small size of on-chip flash memory. In addition, on-chip embedded software in flash memory is not easy to update in runtime to equip with latest services in IoT-driven applications. It is becoming important to develop light-weighted IoT devices with various software in the limited on-chip flash memory. The remote instruction execution in cloud via IoT connectivity enables to provide high performance software execution with unlimited software instruction in cloud and low-power streaming of instruction execution in IoT edge devices. In this paper, we propose a Cloud-IoT asymmetric structure for providing high performance instruction execution in cloud, still low power code executable thing in light-weighted IoT edge environment using remote instruction execution. We propose a simulated approach to determine efficient partitioning of software runtime in cloud and IoT edge. We evaluated the instruction cloudification using remote instruction by determining the execution time by the proposed structure. The cloud-connected instruction set simulator is newly introduced to emulate the behavior of the processor. Experimental results of the cloud-IoT connected software execution using remote instruction showed the feasibility of cloudification of on-chip code flash memory. The simulation environment for cloud-connected code execution successfully emulates architectural operations of on-chip flash memory in cloud so that the various software services in IoT can be accelerated and performed in low-power by cloudification of remote instruction execution. The execution time of the program is reduced by 50% and the memory space is reduced by 24% when the cloud-connected code execution is used.

In this paper, we proposed quad variable rates ADPCM coding method for efficient speech transmission and real time porcessing is implemented on TMS320C6711-DSP. The modified ADPCM with four variable coding rates, 16[kbps], 24[kbps], 32[kbps] and 40[kbps] are used for speech window samples for good quality speech transmission at a small data bits and real time encoding and decoding is implemented using DSP. ZCR is used to identify the influence of the noise on the speech signal and to decide the rate change threshold. For noise superior signals, low coding rates are applied to minimize data bit and for noise inferior signals, high coding rates are applied to enhance the speech quality. In most speech telecommunications, silent period takes more than half of the signals, speech quality close to 40[kbps] can be obtained at comparabley low data bits and this is shown by simulation and experiments. TMS320C6711-DSK board has 128K flash memory and performance of 1333MIPS and has meets the requirements for real time implementation of proposed coding algorithm.
