Distributed Computing
Parallel VS Distributed Computing
Serial Computing
Serial computing is the process of solving a problem step-by-step on a single
processor, where instructions are executed one after the other in a linear
sequence.
Also known as sequential computing.
Parallel Computing
Parallel computing is a type of computing architecture in which several
processors simultaneously execute multiple, smaller calculations broken down
from an overall larger, complex problem.
Serial VS Parallel Computing
Distributed Computing
Distributed computing is a
collection of independent computers
that appears to its users as a single
coherent system.
A distributed system organized as
middleware. The middleware layer
extends over multiple machines and
offers each application the same
interface.
