Edge Inferencing with SuperMicro Edge Server

Edge servers facilitate real-time decision-making by providing computing resources away from data centers and the cloud. In this article, we run several edge benchmarks on a SuperMicro IoT SuperServer SYS-210SE-31A, a versatile multi-node edge server. Clearly, the engineers had edge inferencing in mind during its conception, as this box was born to inference.
