History and Evolution of Distributed Systems

To increase hardware autonomy

To eliminate the need for computer networks

To present a single coherent system to users (correct)

To reduce performance through parallelism

Parallel systems process elements simultaneously to achieve a common goal

Parallel systems do not rely on computer networks

Distributed systems do not communicate or cooperate

Distributed systems present a single-system image (correct)

Because they eliminate the need for computer networks

Because they mask machine boundaries (correct)

Because they rely on autonomous hardware

Because they reduce cost effectively
