Computing
edge computing
Edge computing is a computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location of the data source.
Expanded definition
By processing data at or near the edge of the network, edge computing reduces latency and bandwidth usage, making it suitable for applications that require real-time data processing. This approach is particularly beneficial for IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities, where immediate data analysis is critical. Edge computing enables more efficient use of resources and enhances overall system performance.
