Description: Heterogeneous edge computing refers to a model that integrates various types of edge computing resources to optimize the performance of applications and services. This approach combines different hardware architectures, such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized devices, allowing processing tasks to be performed closer to the data source. This not only reduces latency but also improves resource utilization efficiency, as each type of hardware can be used for specific tasks according to its strengths. For example, GPUs are ideal for parallel processing, while FPGAs can be configured for specific tasks efficiently. Heterogeneity in edge computing allows for greater flexibility and scalability, adapting to the changing needs of applications, especially in environments where large volumes of data are generated, such as in the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge AI. This approach is crucial for applications that require real-time responses, such as autonomous driving, smart surveillance, and industrial automation, where every millisecond counts and processing capacity must be optimized for ensuring optimal performance.
