Split-compute architecture

A system comprising:

• a wearable device;
• and
• a companion device,
• the wearable device including:
• a device client,
• a hardware abstraction layer,
• an operating system abstraction layer, and
• and at least one peripheral device driver,
• the companion device including a runtime environment associated with the wearable device, and
• the system configured to:
• initiate a computing process on the wearable device, the computing process including a plurality of tasks;
• determine that the companion device is available to perform at least one task of the plurality of tasks;
• communicate, by the wearable device, data generated by the wearable device to the companion device;
• perform, by the companion device, the at least one task;
• communicate, by the companion device, a result associated with a completion of the at least one task;
• receive, by the wearable device, the result associated with the completion of the at least one task;
• and
• complete, by the wearable device, the computing process based on the result associated with the completion of the at least one task.
