COMPUTING

Parallel Computing
Need
• In Parallel Computing,
• Additional computational resources are added to
the system to improve the processing capability
of system
• Helps in dividing complex computations
into subtasks, which can be handled individually
by processing units that are running in parallel
• Multiple computing systems are running parallel
• Concept is processing capability will
increase with the increase in the level of
parallelism

Parallel processing uses two or more processors or


CPUs simultaneously to handle various
components of a single activity.
Example - Supercomputers for use in astronomy
Distributed Computing
Need
• In distributed computing,
• Multiple computing resources are connected in network
and computing tasks are distributed across these
resources
• Results into increase in speed and efficiency of system
• Faster and more efficient than traditional methods of
computing
