•Minicomputer model (e.g., early networks)

-Each user has local machine

-Local processing but can fetch remote data (files, databases)

•Workstation model (e.g., Sprite)

-Processing can also migrate

•Client-server Model (e.g., V system, world wide web)

-User has local workstation

-Powerful workstations serve as servers (file, print, DB servers)

•Processor pool model (e.g., Amoeba, Plan 9)

-Terminals are Xterms or diskless terminals

-Pool of backend processors handle processing

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.
