Seems like a lot of people are confused between the concept of edge computing and the concept of conventional personal computers. Conventional PCs are something that you can with have a lot of freedom and flexibility. Essentially you can do whatever you want with your PC - re-program it, install software on it, play with it... However an edge computing device is something that is more likely administered by a central service provider (i.e. Amazon Alexa offered by Amazon) that you cannot easily tamper with, but it does have enough processing power to do many things locally rather than always having to talk to the Cloud. A prime example is a self-driving car. A self-driving Tesla is an epitome an "edge computer" which drives your car without having talking to the Cloud - and quite conceivably so. Moreover, a Tesla self-driving car receives upgrades from Tesla every once in a while - a sign of being administered by Tesla. Last but not least, you can't re-program a Tesla to let it ignore pedestrians in front of itself otherwise it'd become a really cheap assassin... Hope it helps.

You are the only channel that i know off that tells the description in a vary clear and understandable manner. Thanks

hi Rob, thanks for the nice video！ a question：could you like kindly explain what is the different between ‘edge computing’ and ‘distributed computing’？ I am really confuse about these two conceptions KR

Very engaging presentation, thank you Rob!

Like how you guys are able to mirror write so smoothly.

this video, and this channel in general, would be better if they included more specific use cases

Fantastic explanation, great video. I'd love to see more of these. I'd love some clarification on 2 points though: 1- The 'Network Edge' seems to be quite different conceptually from Edge Devices and Servers. I wonder if this is just a nomenclature thing 2- What kinds of workloads are we thinking of when we refer to Edge Servers or the Network Edge?

Always a pleasure to learn from Rob High.

Very nice video on wdge computing that gives an crystal clear explanation on the topic without making us confuse between concepts like embedded devices and etc.Thanks for the video to both IBM and Rob High.

Sounds like "Edge Computing" is just normal computing. Our premature adoption of cloud technology has left us in a situation where we realize what we needed all along is what we had before investing into the cloud. Ironic really.

Nicely done. Would love to see you do another as a follow up including IBM + IBM Ecosystem and a client environment do it.

great video: few questions: Is edge computing simply passing the data processing/computing loads to edge devices/edge servers? Does this mean that Sensitive data won't be transferred to the data centers at all? If it will still be transferred, then how does that fix the vulnerability issue. Thanks so much!

Wow thanks I understood all of it!

excellent video thanks! keep posting videos like this one

Very well explained. Thank you.

Go Edge! Thx for video.

Very good video, thanks!

thank you! The info is nicely explained that you don't have to be an expert to understand.

Excellent ,thanks very much.

I understood it and I’m a beginner in a lot of this stuff!

Really like these education series from IBM, thanks!

loved this. subscribed!

4DS ReRam might help when it comes to the huge amount of memory out there on the edge?

Excellent overview of Edge Computing!

Great quality explanation.

Very good video. Thanks for creating it.

Okay I just have to say unless some video-magic is occurring, his backwards-writing skills are impeccable

Great video thank you

Very Informative Video

Hey Awesome Explanation. I'm thinking of using Edge for my use case. @ibm Can we talk about this ?

Very nice video. It perfectly aligns with what I was thinking in terms of Architecture and Applications. Due to the limited range of the 5G (while research is going on), the applications will be internal network using 5G technology. Eventually, with a higher range 5G (like a 4G LTE), of course, it opens up doors for all interesting use cases. Perhaps at that time, it will be called 6G.

Please I have a question, I'm having issue on what area to settle into, I have a background on python and the supervised learning in Machine learning but to apply my skills in the automotive industry, can u advise me, on how to tailor my part?

How to work on edge cloud computing simulator?

Hello sir I am bit confused . Where does the edge computing perform i.e in edge device itself or in edge server. If it performs the computing in edge servers then in the case of autonomous vehicles we cant expect continuous network connection because of its mobility. So in this case if the network connection is lost then how can the edge server communicate with that autonomous vehicle.

Is edge computing a kind of atavism: the previous local computer's ability is very weak, so the computing tasks are uploaded to the cloud computing, but now we want to reduce the cloud computing and return more computer tasks to the local computers.

Is there a need for edge computing when quantum computing comes out.

what about caching? and security?

There's a project called StrongNode that uses Edge computing. Check their litepaper if you are interested. Really fascinating stuff.

Which software was used to create this video?

I am amazed by how he type those words..

Did he wrote all those in reverse facing the camera while recording the video the whole time??? And his handwriting is awesome!

What kind of white board are you using?

Hi thanks for the great video !! Please suggest me a problem statement for edge wanna implement in my research . Thanks

Just commenting so that algo suggests me more of such videos

WOW! Does this sir wrote things inversely?

It almost seems like computing has come full circle. From on-premise to cloud to essentially on-premise again, except the computing power is now in devices rather than on server racks. When is this going to end, lol? When we get to full 5G (or better) and much better computing power, will we then decide it's better to (re)locate everything back to a central location?

Ok. Thank you very much, but What is actually an Edge Computing?

what is the difference between edge and fog ?

At 4:15 : Those Deep Eyes with White Box Leds...... Ha ha... Amazing video... Now i know

It could also be Power of IBM Z.

wish the audio was louder hehe

Nice concepts but the presentation lacks examples.

Very engaging concept but this sounds to me like the beginning of data decentralization once again and the slow death of huge data centers!

Cool, but after learning what edge computing does, I still don't know what edge computing is.

I'm looking to learn edge computing but I don't like programming. Can someone please tell me does edge computing include programming?

a car has 50 cpus?

Too low sound

Average car has 50 cpu's, what.

Theta 😌

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than GS

Am I the only one baffled by his ability of mirror writing?

Sounds like a precursor to pied piper's decentralized internet

I felt this video was filled with too much tech jargon making it difficult for a newcomer to understand. It seemed like an explanation for people who already understand what edge computing is.
