Explain the features of distributed computing.

Answer»

Distributed computing is a method of computing in which large problems can be divided into smaller ones and these smaller ones are distributed among several computers. The solution for the smaller ones are computed separately and simultaneously. Finally the results are assembled to get the desired overall solution.

Advantages:

  • Economical: Reduces the computing cost hence it is economical 
  • Speed : The work load of the entire system is less hence the speed is high.
  • Reliability : When one computer in the network fails the entire work will not be blocked, i.e. the other computers will do the work properly.
  • Scalability : We can add computers according to the work load.
