👉 Parent computing refers to the process where a more powerful computer, typically referred to as the parent machine, manages and oversees the operation of one or more less powerful devices, known as child computers or clients. This setup allows the parent machine to handle complex tasks such as data processing, resource allocation, and security management, while delegating simpler tasks to the child computers. This hierarchical structure enhances efficiency, simplifies system management, and enables better resource utilization, as the parent machine can optimize its resources based on the specific needs of each child device.
