👉 Para computing, also known as edge or distributed computing, refers to the practice of processing data and executing computational tasks across a network of interconnected devices, such as smartphones, IoT sensors, or edge servers, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud infrastructure. This approach leverages the collective processing power of numerous edge devices to perform tasks like data filtering, aggregation, and analysis closer to where the data is generated, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. By distributing computational workloads, para computing enhances real-time decision-making, improves privacy by minimizing data transmission to central servers, and optimizes resource utilization. It is particularly valuable in applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation, where traditional cloud computing might introduce unacceptable delays or privacy concerns.
