👉 Pendant computing is an innovative approach to distributed computing where individual devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, or IoT sensors, act as independent computing nodes or "pendants." These devices perform local computations and store data, reducing the need to send all information to a central server. Instead, they communicate directly with each other or with nearby nodes to share and process data, creating a decentralized network. This method enhances privacy, reduces latency, and conserves bandwidth, as only necessary information is transmitted between devices. Pendant computing leverages the ubiquity of connected devices to create a more efficient, scalable, and resilient computing infrastructure, particularly useful in scenarios where centralized data processing is impractical or undesirable.
