Edge Systems’ Componentry
Edge computing starts with Edge hardware. Hardware components include everything from computing devices, sensors attached to the device, and communication systems between the device and the cloud. But hardware alone doesn’t define the Edge. Software is also unique for Edge applications. As we will learn, Edge applications require unique hardware designs as well as bespoke software and applications. We will look at the system architecture of Edge machines and Edge hardware. By system, we mean how everything comes together from the Edge to the cloud, including communications and networking.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Basic concepts of traditional computing systems and hardware
- Examining high-performance ...
