The client-server model is popular in distributed systems. can it also be used in a single-computer system?

A distributed computer system consists of multiple software components that are on multiple computers, but run as a single system. The computers that are in a distributed system can be physically close together and connected by a local network, or they can be geographically distant and connected by a wide area network. A distributed system can consist of any number of possible configurations, such as mainframes, personal computers, workstations, minicomputers, and so on. The goal of distributed computing is to make such a network work as a single computer.


What is DQDB in computer networks?

In telecommunication, a distributed-queue dual-bus network (DQDB) is a distributed multi-access network that (a) supports integrated communications using a dual bus and distributed queuing, (b) provides access to local or metropolitan area networks, and (c) supports connectionless data transfer, connection-oriented data transfer, and isochronous communications, such as voice communications. IEEE 802.6 is an example of a network providing DQDB access methods.

What is the difference between computer networks and distributed databases?

A distributed system shares the work to be done among several computers. There is usually a control process that manages all of the various sub processes to ensure they are performed in the proper sequence. Although these computers are networked together, the network is usually unavailable to other systems and users; and it is usually extremely fast. A computer network allows computers on the same network to communicate with each other. There is no indication these computers will share any work simply because they have been networked together. Difference between a network and a distributed system lies with the software(especialy the operating system)rather thanwith the hardware. from 'tanenbum' sender:Priyanka singh,davv indore
