👉 Visited computing is an emerging paradigm in cloud computing where the computational resources of a user’s local machine are dynamically allocated and utilized for running applications and services, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud infrastructure. This approach allows users to offload tasks such as data processing, machine learning inference, or content delivery to their local devices, optimizing performance by reducing latency, enhancing privacy through data processing on the device itself, and potentially lowering costs by minimizing reliance on expensive cloud resources. Unlike traditional cloud computing, which often requires transferring data to remote servers for computation, visited computing leverages the local machine’s hardware (CPU, GPU, memory) and storage, making it ideal for real-time applications, sensitive data handling, or scenarios where consistent connectivity is unreliable. It represents a shift toward decentralized, user-centric computing models that prioritize efficiency and control over centralized cloud services.
