👉 Floor computing, also known as edge or distributed computing, involves processing and analyzing data closer to where it is generated, rather than sending all the data to a centralized cloud server for processing. This approach leverages local computing resources, such as servers or devices on the edge of a network like IoT devices, to perform computations in real-time. By doing so, floor computing reduces latency, enhances data privacy and security, and decreases bandwidth usage, making it particularly useful for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation. It allows for more efficient and responsive systems by minimizing the time data spends traveling to and from a central server, thus optimizing overall performance and reliability.
