👉 Small computing refers to the design and implementation of computing systems that are optimized for efficiency, low power consumption, and compact size, making them ideal for embedded devices, wearables, and IoT applications. These systems typically utilize specialized hardware components like microcontrollers, FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), and low-power processors to perform computations while minimizing energy usage and physical footprint. The focus is on delivering reliable performance within strict constraints of size, cost, and power, often employing techniques such as parallel processing, optimized algorithms, and hardware-software co-design to achieve these goals. This approach enables the development of compact, energy-efficient devices that can operate autonomously in resource-limited environments.
