English term or phrase: Reducing down to the edge
“Human users in applications like augmented reality are extremely sensitive to the tail,” Satyanarayanan said. “If I give you half an hour of an augmented reality experience, you may have 25 minutes of a superb experience. But what you will remember is five minutes of a horrible experience.”
{Reducing the tail of distribution down to the edge} is what makes edge computing appealing.

在边缘位置减少/缩小分布的尾部
Explanation:
‘reduce’ 感觉还是强调减少/缩小的一面,直接翻成“在边缘位置...”似乎可行。好像“to the edge”有些双关的感觉,可以减少到很小(edge),又是在边缘(edge)位置。
