3.3 Computing

The document discusses Parallel and Distributed Computing, highlighting their need for improving processing capabilities and efficiency. Parallel computing involves multiple processors handling subtasks simultaneously, while distributed computing connects multiple resources to solve common problems more effectively. It also compares the two systems and introduces Hadoop as a framework for managing large data sets through a MapReduce model.

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
• More suitable to process huge amounts of data in limited time
The method of making multiple computers work together to solve a
common problem.

• Deals with flat files in any format

• Divides files automatically in blocks

• Generates notions of a job divided


into tasks
• Implements MapReduce computing
model
• Considers every task either as a Map
or a Reduce
