Where jellyfishes work better than whales

In a world besotted with big-bellied supercomputers and specially-encased Quantum wonders, it is interesting to consider that there are alternatives to handle huge computing workloads without worrying about space, fragility and tonnes of metal. It is an age where loT devices, sensors and equipment-attached computing brains can be deployed and leveraged easily and all around, with or without the need to have a huge computing beast working in the mother-ship. It is an age where Edge Distributed Computing (EDC) is catching many eyeballs and wallets.

So how does it work? And why does it work?

DEEP WATERS - BUSY WATERS

In a recent discussion on supercomputing, Rohit Kochar, Founder and CEO of Bert Labs, elaborated, "Traditionally, supercomputers were seen as single devices having the ability to store, process, analyse and compute multiple functions. However, for us, supercomputing means leveraging the Bert Platform Solution's distributed computing capabilities across the Bert Nova suite of software modules. Each module serves a specific function, extending this distributed computing ability to the Edge with Bert Titan and Bert Aksh Edge Computing Devices."

He further emphasised that supercomputing begins with Bert Maximus loT-Powered sensing and Data Capture devices, where they've enabled super-computation on embedded boards. "Here, millions of data points are processed at the initial level, including numeric, alphanumeric, digital images, and thermal images," he said.
