Documentaion of Distributed Computing

Distributed computing allows multiple computers to work together on common problems by splitting data and tasks across networked nodes. It provides scalability, availability, consistency and efficiency. Each node has its own resources and responsibilities. While startup costs and security are limitations, distributed computing has applications in healthcare for image analysis and drug research, and in engineering for simulations that improve product design.

 Definition of Distributed Computing:


 Distributed computing is a method of making
multiple computers to work together to solve a
common problem.
 It is a collection of nodes, where each and every
node is connected with each other in a same network
no matter where they are geographical location wise,
so each of the node have their own responsibility to
finish their assigned task, so even though these
nodes are processing their data individually but still
for their end user this entire system look like a single
system.

 WORKING:
 By Distributed system it enables power of Distributed
Computing one can process entire data to split into
chunks (Smaller bits) and just share it across two
different nodes which are linked together so they can
make call or communicate to each other and process
those chunks of data individually and when they get
calculated entirely it will get aggregate or show final
outcomes end user through interface.

 IN THE DEFINITION WHAT IS A NODE?


A node is nothing but a computer unit which have their
own resources such as memory, processing unit and their
own lock.

 CHARACTERISTICS OF DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING:


Distributed computing has different characteristics. They are as
follows

1. Scalability
2. Availability
3. Consistency
4. Efficiency
5. Resource sharing

1)SCALABILITY
Distributed systems can grow with your workload and
requirements. You can add new nodes, that is more
computing devices, to the distributed computing network
when they are needed.

2)AVAILABILITY

Distributed computing system will not crash if one of the


computers goes down. The design show’s fault tolerance
because it can continue to operate even if individual
computers fail.
3)CONSISTENCY
Computers in a distributed computing share information and duplicate data
between them, but the system automatically manages data consistency across all
the different computers. Thus, you get the benefit of fault tolerance without
compromising data consistency

4)EFFICIENCY
Distributed computing offers faster performance with optimum resource use of
the underlying hardware. As a result, you can manage any workload without
worrying about system failure due to volume spikes or underuse of expensive
hardware.

5)RESOURCE SHARING
The computers involved in the Distributed Computing share their resources to
each other such as Hardware and Software.
Architecture:

Limitations or Drawbacks:

 Startup Cost
 Security
 Overheads
Applications:

 Healthcare and life sciences:


Healthcare and life sciences use distributed computing to
model and simulate complex life science data. Image
analysis, medical drug research, and gene structure analysis all
become faster with distributed systems. These are some examples:

 Accelerate structure-based drug design by visualizing molecular


models in three dimensions.
 Reduce genomic data processing times to get early insights into
cancer, cystic fibrosis, and Alzheimer’s.
 Develop intelligent systems that help doctors diagnose patients
by processing a large volume of complex images like MRIs, X-
rays, and CT scans.

 Engineering research:
Engineers can simulate complex physics and mechanics
concepts on distributed systems. They use this research to
improve product design, build complex structures, and
design faster vehicles. Here are some examples:

 Computation fluid dynamics research studies the


behavior of liquids and implements those concepts in
aircraft design and car racing.
 Computer-aided engineering requires compute-intensive
simulation tools to test new plant engineering,
electronics, and consumer goods.
