👉 Head computing, also known as edge computing, refers to the practice of processing data closer to where it is generated or consumed, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach minimizes the latency and bandwidth usage associated with transmitting large amounts of data over long distances to centralized servers for processing. By distributing computing resources across a network of edge devices, such as smartphones, IoT sensors, and local servers, head computing enables faster data analysis, real-time decision-making, and improved efficiency in applications like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation. This localized processing also enhances data privacy and security since sensitive information can be handled locally, reducing the risk of data breaches during transmission.
