👉 Floating computing, also known as edge or distributed computing, is a paradigm where data processing and computation occur closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach involves deploying computing resources, such as servers, storage devices, and applications, at various locations like IoT devices, edge servers, or local networks, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making. By bringing computation closer to where data is created and consumed, floating computing reduces latency, enhances privacy and security, and optimizes bandwidth usage. It is particularly beneficial for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation, where quick data processing is critical.
