Client-server model using distributed and parallel computingSubmitted by -: Mayank Deora (13116041)B.Tech ECE III yearDistributed computingDistributed computing is a computing concept that refers to the operation of multiple computer systems. on a single problem. In distributed computing architecture, a single problem is divided into several parts, and each part is solved by different computers located in different geographic locations. As long as computers are connected to each other through a network, they can communicate with each other to solve the problem with contribution from each node on the network. If the task is done correctly, it appears that the computers operate as a single entity. The ultimate goal of distributed computing is to maximize performance by connecting users and computing resources in a cost-effective, transparent, and reliable manner. It also ensures fault tolerance and allows accessibility to resources in the event of a failure of any of the components. The idea of ​​distributing resources within a computer network is not new. This first began with the use of data entry terminals on mainframe computers, then spread to minicomputers and is now possible in personal computers and client-server architecture. Concept of Parallel ProcessingParallel processing is generally implemented in operational environments/scenarios that require massive calculations or processing power. The main goal of parallel computing is to increase the available computing power for faster application processing or task solving. Typically, parallel computing infrastructure is hosted in a single facility where many processors are installed in a server rack or separate servers are connected together...... middle of paper ...... can be used for difficult real-time applications. In a synchronous distributed system, there is a notion of global physical time. It is possible and safe to use timeouts to detect failures of a process or communication link.3. Peer-to-peer networks should be installed in homes or very small businesses where employees interact regularly. They are inexpensive to set up. However, they offer almost no security. On the other hand, client-server networks can grow as large as necessary and they can support millions of users and offer elaborate security measures.References –1.
