Study Notes
- Parallel computing uses multiple processors to perform tasks simultaneously.
- Memory in parallel systems can be shared or distributed.
- Distributed computing uses multiple autonomous computers that communicate through message passing.
- Parallel computing saves time and money and can handle larger problems.
- Bit-level, instruction-level, and task parallelism are types of parallelism.
- Client/server and peer-to-peer systems are types of distributed systems.
- Distributed systems allow for easy data sharing and scalability.
- Adequate security and potential data loss are disadvantages of distributed systems.
- Virtualization allows for sharing of a physical resource among multiple organizations.
- Virtualization assigns a logical name to a physical resource and provides a pointer when demanded.
