What are the key differences between distributed computing and parallel computing, and how do these differences impact their respective performance and scalability?

Distributed computing involves multiple computers working together on a task, often across a network, while parallel computing uses multiple processors within a single computer to work on a task simultaneously. Distributed computing can be more flexible and scalable but may face challenges with communication and coordination between the computers. Parallel computing can be faster and more efficient for certain tasks but may be limited by the number of processors available. The choice between distributed and parallel computing depends on the specific requirements of the task at hand.


How do parallel computing and distributed computing differ in terms of their approach to processing tasks efficiently?

Parallel computing involves breaking down a task into smaller parts and processing them simultaneously on multiple processors within the same system, while distributed computing involves spreading the task across multiple computers connected over a network to process it efficiently.


What are the key differences between parallel and distributed computing?

Parallel computing involves breaking down a task into smaller parts that are processed simultaneously by multiple processors within the same system. Distributed computing, on the other hand, involves processing tasks across multiple interconnected systems, often geographically dispersed. The key difference lies in how the tasks are divided and executed, with parallel computing focusing on simultaneous processing within a single system and distributed computing focusing on processing across multiple systems.

What is the difference between distributed and parallel computing?

In the most simple form = Parallel Computing is a method where several individual (autonomous) systems (CPU's) work in tandem to resolve a common computing workload. Distributed Computing is where several dis-associated systems are working seperatly to resolve a multi-faceted computing workload. An example of Parallel computing would be two servers that share the workload of routing mail, managing connections to an accounting system or database, solving a mathematical problem, ect... Distributed Computing would be more like the SETI Program, where each client works a separate "chunk" of information, and returns the completed package to a centralized resource that's responsible for managing the overall workload. If you think of ten men pulling on a rope to lift a load, that is parallel computing. If ten men have ten ropes and are lifting ten different loads from one place to consolidate at another place, that would be distributed computing. In Parallel Computing all processors have access to a shared memory. In distributed computing, each processor has its own private memory

Comparison Grid computing cloud computing and cluster Computing?

well the main difference is that in a parallel system there is multiple computing units (cpu) working in one node(they share memory ,attached devices , storage...) to accomplish a computing goal in a clustered there is multiple nodes each has its own resources running its own copy of os (usually connected via lan) to accomplish a computing goal


What is the difference between supercomputer and distributed computing?

Definition of serial computing and distributed computing?

Serial computing is executing a task on one computer. Distributed computing is executing a task on multiple computers at the same time.


What are distributed and parallel computing?

Parallel computing and distributed computing are ways of exploiting parallelism in computing to achieve higher performance. Multiple processing elements are used to solve a problem, either to have it done faster or to have a larger size problem been solved. To state simply, if the processing elements share the memory, it is called parallel computing, other wise it is called distributed computing. Some have opinion that distributed computing is a special form of parallel computing.

What is the difference between Clustered Systems and Distributed Systems?

clustered system: systems having many computers with shared storage and linked by a lan or network.distributed system:systems having many computers connected by a network and there is no shared storage.Distributed computing is computing done on computers connected by a network. Clusters are one type of distributed computing. MPPs are another. Grid computing is a third.


What is difference between cloud computing and grid computing?

Grid computing by definition is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involves a large number of files. Cloud computing is a general terminology used for the delivery of hosted services over the internet.
