1. Cloud Computing: Principles and Paradigms by Rajkumar
Buyya, James Broberg and Andrzej M. Goscinski, Wiley,
2011.
How it’s using parallel computing: One of the oil industry’s biggest
players lives in suburban Houston and goes by the name Bubba.
But Bubba’s no black-gold bigwig, it’s a supercomputer (among the
fastest on the planet) owned by Australian geoprocessing company
DownUnder GeoSolutions.
OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY
Location: Oak Ridge, Tenn.
How it’s using parallel computing: Beyond image rendering
and pharmaceutical research, parallel processing’s herculean
data-analytics power hold great promise for public health.
Take one particularly harrowing epidemic: veteran suicide.
After the VA developed a model that dove into veterans’
prescription and refill patterns, researchers at the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory were then able to run the algorithm on a
high-performance computer 300 times faster than the VA’s
capabilities.
DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING
Distributed computing is also a computing system that
consists of multiple computers or processor machines
connected through a network, which can be homogeneous
or heterogeneous, but run as a single system.
The connectivity can be such that the CPUs in a distributed
system can be physically close together and connected by a
local network, or they can be geographically distant and
connected by a wide area network.
The heterogeneity in a distributed system supports any
number of possible configurations in the processor
machines, such as mainframes, PCs, workstations, and
minicomputers.
Examples :Internet,Intranet
FEATURES OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS are simply three ways to describe how you
can use the cloud for your business.
This limits the rate at which data can be exchanged over long
distances and is one of the factors that led to the evolution of optical
fiber.
