…sensors in distributed settings like smart cities, industrial plants and autonomous vehicles. For fast real-time response, developers increasingly turn to edge computing. This raises the bar for computing resources in edge nodes. As a result, hardware must be complemented with real-time operating systems and fast-response software to handle interrupts and events swiftly. ML for continuously changing real-time sensor data will…
