👉 Cruise computing, also known as edge computing or distributed computing in the context of mobile and IoT devices, refers to a model where data processing and computation occur closer to the source of data generation, typically on the device itself or on nearby edge servers rather than in centralized cloud data centers. This approach minimizes latency, reduces bandwidth usage, and enhances privacy and security by keeping sensitive data local. In a cruise computing environment, mobile devices or edge nodes handle real-time data processing and decision-making, sending only necessary insights or aggregated results to the cloud for further analysis. This architecture is particularly beneficial for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and real-time monitoring systems.
