Types of Distributed Systems

Various types of distributed systems

❏ Distributed Computing System


❏ Distributed Information System
❏ Distributed Embedded System

2
1.Distributed Computing System - Cluster Computing

❏ Collection of systems that work together, can be viewed as a single


computer
❏ Underlying hardware consists of collection of similar PCs
❏ Connected with high speed networks
❏ Each node run the same OS (linux)
❏ Defination of cluster is extend further
❏ HA (High Availability Cluster)
❏ LB (Load-balancing Cluster)

1. Distributed Computing System - Grid System

❏ collection of computers running the same operating system OR as complex


as systems comprised of different OS
❏ server, which handles all the administrative duties for the system (control
node, dispatcher)
❏ Nodes running special grid computing network software - middleware
❏ Grid middleware: to run a process or application across the entire network of
machines.
❏ Middleware is the workhorse of the grid computing system
❏ Lack of standards 36
1. Distributed Computing System - Grid System

❏ Control node – dispatcher


❏ Scheduling/priority task
❏ Monitor systems
❏ Resource allocation
❏ Grid middleware
❏ Process launch
❏ communicate

37
1. Distributed Computing System - Grid System
Applications of Grid - Screensaver is a Lifesaver
❏ Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
❏ SETI project is to analyze data gathered by radio telescopes
❏ search of evidence for intelligent alien communications
❏ There's far too much information for a single computer to analyze
effectively
❏ Folding@home project - Stanford University's chemistry department
❏ proteins take certain shapes - Scientists believe that protein
"misfolding" could be the cause of diseases
38
2. Distributed Information Systems

❏ Typical system includes a database


❏ Integration of such system is quite difficult
❏ Client can wrap number of request into single request and have it executed
as a distributed transaction
❏ Transaction Processing system

3. Distributed Pervasive Computing
❏ Mobile and embedded computing
devices
❏ Instability is the default behavior
❏ Being small, battery operated having
wireless connections
❏ Lack of administrative control
❏ (Grimm et al. 2004 )Features of
Pervasive applications
❏ Embrace contextual changes
❏ Encourage ad hoc composition
❏ Recognize sharing as default
46
3. Distributed Pervasive Computing

❏ Distributed Home Systems


❏ Popular type of pervasive system
❏ Comprises of TV, audio, video equipment,
game devices, PDA’s as a single system
❏ Challenges
❏ Self-configuring, self-managing
❏ Achieved through UPnP standards – obtain
IP address

3. Distributed Pervasive Computing

❏ Electronic Health Care Systems


❏ System equipped with sensors
organized in BAN
❏ No strings attached to immobile
device
❏ Minimal hinder a person
