👉 Loaded computing, also known as edge computing, is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, typically at the edge of the network, such as IoT devices, sensors, or local servers. This approach contrasts with traditional cloud computing, where data is processed in centralized data centers. By processing data locally, loaded computing reduces latency, conserves bandwidth, and enhances privacy and security since sensitive data doesn't need to be transmitted over long distances. It's particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time processing, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation.
