edge-computing

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Edge-computing' is processing data closer to where it's created, rather than relying on a central location. It improves speed and reduces bandwidth use.

Examples in Different Contexts

Tech companies leverage edge computing for cloud gaming. By reducing latency through local processing, players experience minimal delay when gaming online.

Practice Scenarios

Robotics

Scenario:

Our robots aren't responding quickly enough in real-time scenarios. How can we improve their processing capabilities?

Response:
