Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that enables data processing closer to the data source, such as in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, rather than in a centralized data center. This paradigm has several advantages over the traditional cloud service, such as reduced latency, increased bandwidth, and improved reliability. However, an edge infrastructure also requires a lot of energy to operate, which can be a challenge in terms of users’ monetary cost and environmental impact. To reduce energy consumption, edge intelligence, workload distribution, resource management, scheduling, and data compression can be implemented. Edge computing is essential for enabling the next generation of services and applications that require high computational speeds and low latencies.
