👉 Loose computing, also known as decentralized or distributed computing, refers to a model where computing resources and services are spread across multiple devices and locations rather than being centralized in a single location. This approach leverages the collective power of numerous individual devices, such as smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and edge servers, to process data and perform computations. Unlike traditional computing models that rely heavily on centralized data centers, loose computing enhances scalability, reduces latency by processing data closer to where it is generated, and improves privacy and security by keeping sensitive data localized. It also promotes resource efficiency, as tasks can be offloaded to nearby devices when needed, optimizing the use of available computational power and network bandwidth.
