Computation offloading

In computer science, computation offloading refers to the transfer of certain computing tasks to an external platform, such as a cluster, grid, or a cloud.[1] Offloading may be necessary due to hardware limitations of a computer system handling a particular task on its own.[2] These intensive computing tasks may be used in artificial intelligence, artificial vision and object tracking, or computational decision making.[3] Computation offloading may also be used to save energy.
