The way in which we use computing and how it influences our lives continues to evolve with our technological capability. High-performance computing is now available in devices smaller than our smartphones. The “Internet of Things” is a moniker for “plugging devices” into the network so that we may query and alter their state. In many cases, this also presumes they have some autonomous processing capability. Significant processing can be done directly on the end device whenever the energy, network bandwidth and response latency requirements demand it. However, specialized compute tasks are often offloaded to the cloud, when network the energy is lower than the compute energy and/or the result can be computed faster using dedicated accelerators.

我们使用计算的方式以及它如何影响我们的生活，随着我们的技术能力不断发展。高性能计算现在可以在比我们的智能手机更小的设备中使用。“物联网”是将设备“插入”网络的绰号，以便我们可以查询和更改它们的状态。在许多情况下，这也假定他们有一些自主处理能力。当能量、网络带宽和响应延迟要求需要时，可以直接在终端设备上完成重要的处理。然而，当网络能量低于计算能量时，专用计算任务通常会卸载到云端，并且/或者可以使用专用加速器更快地计算结果。
