Description
It is becoming apparent that future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost effectiveness will entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional Von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, a new dream is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs to accomplish any given task, and at the same time, achieves the high performance and reliability objectives. Interest in distributed computing systems has grown rapidly in the last decade.
The subject of distributed computing is diverse, and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of distributed hardware and the design of distributed software so that potential parallelism and fault tolerance can be exploited.
Distributed computing systems (or distributed systems) take many forms and cover a variety of system architectures. To some users a distributed system is a collection of multiple processors working closely together to solve a single problem. To other users a distributed system may mean a computer network that is a collection of geographically dispersed, independent processors linked together to allow the sharing of various resources. However, the term distributed systems has been applied to such a wide range of computer systems that its usage has become somewhat devalued. Much of this confusion stems from the lack of distinction between the physical and the logical distribution. By distinguishing the two it is possible to characterize more precisely the properties of a distributed system. |
