👉 Passing computing, also known as distributed or edge computing, refers to the practice of processing data and executing computational tasks closer to where the data is generated or consumed, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach leverages local devices such as smartphones, IoT sensors, and edge servers to perform computations in real-time or near real-time, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. By decentralizing computing resources, passing computing enhances efficiency, improves data privacy and security, and enables more responsive applications for use cases like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial automation.
