Everything about Computation offloading
Transfer of computational tasks to a separate processor or an external platform
Computation offloading is the transfer of resource intensive computational tasks to a separate processor, such as a hardware accelerator, or an external platform, such as a cluster, grid, or a cloud. Offloading to a coprocessor can be used to accelerate applications including: image rendering and mathematical calculations. Offloading computing to an external platform over a network can provide computing power and overcome a device's hardware limitations, such as limited computational power, storage, and energy.
