👉 Daisy computing is a novel approach to distributed computing and data processing that leverages inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware, typically from consumer-grade devices like Raspberry Pi or Arduino boards, to form a scalable and resilient network. By connecting these devices in a mesh topology, Daisy computing enables the creation of a large-scale, decentralized system capable of handling complex computations and data analysis tasks. Each node in the network can act as both a processor and a storage unit, allowing for parallel processing and fault tolerance. Data is processed locally at each node, reducing latency and bandwidth requirements, while the network dynamically reconfigures itself to maintain connectivity and performance even if some nodes fail. This approach democratizes access to powerful computing resources, making it cost-effective and accessible for a wide range of applications from scientific research to IoT deployments.
