👉 Native computing refers to the practice of designing and optimizing software and hardware to run most efficiently on a specific platform or operating system, typically a computer's native architecture. This approach leverages the unique capabilities and optimizations of the underlying hardware, such as CPU instruction sets, memory management units, and GPU architectures, to achieve superior performance, power efficiency, and resource utilization. Native computing involves writing code in languages like C or C++ that are closely aligned with the platform's native capabilities, allowing developers to access low-level features and fine-tune performance. This contrasts with cross-platform or virtualized computing, where software may need to work around hardware limitations or run at a lower level of abstraction. By focusing on the native environment, developers can create applications that are faster, more responsive, and better suited to the specific hardware they are designed for.
