Aerendir and SiFive expect that the IoT market, bolstered by future 5G networks, will require the most cost-effective high-end distributed learning capabilities. As data collection continues to grow and outstrip the ability of datacenters to store, process and analyze new devices at the edge, end point can help to make accurate machine learning decisions. Local data analysis reduces network congestion and latency, improving local device performance and helping to send important data to the cloud for further analysis.
