👉 Mutual computing, also known as distributed or collaborative computing, is a model where multiple computers or devices work together to solve complex problems or perform tasks more efficiently than they could individually. In this setup, each participant contributes resources like processing power, memory, or data storage, and collaborates to achieve a common goal. This can involve sharing computations, exchanging information, or coordinating actions to optimize performance and resource utilization. For example, in cloud computing, multiple servers can be interconnected to distribute tasks across a network, ensuring that no single server becomes a bottleneck and improving overall system reliability and speed. Mutual computing is fundamental in applications ranging from large-scale scientific simulations to real-time data processing and machine learning, where the combined capabilities of interconnected devices significantly enhance computational power and efficiency.
