👉 Bottom computing, also known as edge or decentralized computing, refers to the processing and analysis of data that occurs closer to where it is generated, typically at the "edge" of the network, such as on local devices or edge servers, rather than in centralized cloud data centers. This approach minimizes latency, reduces bandwidth usage by filtering and processing data locally, and enhances privacy and security by keeping sensitive information closer to its source. By decentralizing computation, bottom computing enables real-time decision-making and supports applications like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities, where immediate data processing is crucial.
