How the Google Coral Edge Platform Brings the Power of AI to Devices - The New Stack

The rise of industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are making edge computing significant for enterprises. Many industry verticals such as manufacturing, healthcare, automobile, transportation, and aviation are considering an investment in edge computing. Edge computing is fast becoming the conduit between the devices that generate data and the public cloud that processes the data. In the context of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the public cloud is used for training the models and the edge is utilized for inferencing. To accelerate ML training in the cloud, public cloud vendors such as AWS, Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offer GPU-backed virtual machines.
