Edge AI Computing

What is meant by Edge AI Computing?

• Edge AI Computing in IT is defined as the deployment of data-handling activities or other network operations away from centralized and always-connected network segments, and toward individual sources of data capture, such as endpoints like laptops, tablets or smartphones.
• Edge AI Computing deployments are ideally suited in a number of situations. One is when IoT devices have insufficient connectivity and it is not feasible for IoT devices to be seamlessly connected to a central cloud. High latency, low spectral efficiency, and non-adaptive machine type of communication are some of the serious challenges of cloud computing framework that is leading to a shift to computing to the edge devices of the network.
• Basic data visualization
• Basic data analytics and short term data historian features
• Data caching, buffering and streaming
• Data pre-processing, cleansing, filtering and optimization
• Some data aggregation
• Device to Device communications/M2M

What is the difference between Cloud and Edge AI Computing ?

• Edge AI computing refers to data processing power at the edge of a network instead of holding that processing power in a cloud or a central data warehouse. Edge computing does not replace cloud computing, however. In reality, an analytic model or rules might be created in a cloud then pushed out to edge devices.
• Both the systems of computing are useful; however, the usage of a particular technology is determined by the area of application – as in the case of these two. One does not override the other; neither can they dominate each other. Cloud computing functions as a normal server and every process that happens are accounted for within the server. Data management, critical mission response, processing data, etc. all happens within the cloud storage.
