Technical principles and concepts
2.1. Explanation of basic concepts
Edge computing technology is a new computing model. Compared with the traditional centralized computing model, edge computing pushes computing and data storage to the edge devices closest to the user, thereby achieving faster data processing and analysis. Edge computing technology can be divided into the following three parts:
- Edge devices: The computing and data storage carriers of edge computing technology can be traditional servers, GPUs, FPGAs and other devices, or they can be chips specially designed for edge computing.
- Edge algorithm: The core algorithm of edge computing technology, including machine learning, deep learning, etc.
- Edge storageÿ
