👉 Shed computing, also known as edge or distributed computing, is a decentralized computing paradigm that moves data processing closer to where it is generated, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach involves utilizing a network of edge devices, such as smartphones, IoT sensors, and local servers, to perform computations locally or in nearby edge nodes. By doing so, shed computing reduces latency, enhances real-time data processing capabilities, and improves privacy and security, as sensitive data does not need to be transmitted over long distances to centralized data centers. This model is particularly beneficial for applications requiring immediate responses, such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation.
