Distributed systems have been studied for twenty years and are now coming into wider use as fast networks and powerful workstations become more readily available. In many respects a massively parallel computer resembles a network of workstations and it is tempting to port a distributed operating system to such a machine. However, there are signific...

... The disadvantage of MIMD architecture is that it is costly and sometimes complex to implement [14].

In the age of emerging technologies, the amount of data is increasing very rapidly. Due to massive increase of data the level of computations are increasing. Computer executes instructions sequentially. But the time has now changed and innovation has been advanced. We are currently managing gigantic data centers that perform billions of executions on consistent schedule. Truth be- hold, if we dive deep into the processor engineering and mechanism, even a successive machine works parallel. Parallel computing is growing faster as a substitute of distributing computing. The performance to functionality ratio of parallel systems is high. Also, the I/O usage of parallel systems is lower because of ability to perform all operations simultaneously. On the other hand, the performance to functionality ratio of distributed systems is low. The I/O usage of distributed systems is higher because of incapability to perform all operations simultaneously. In this paper, an overview of distributed and parallel computing is described. The basic concept of these two computing is discussed. In addition to this, pros and cons of distributed and parallel computing models are described. Through many aspects, we can conclude that parallel systems are better than distributed systems.
... We found no clear distinction in the literature between the concepts of parallel and distributed computing, with several studies using these definitions interchangeably. Some studies find that differences in many features can be observed in a number of areas, such as the underlying architecture of memory sharing, the connection interfaces between multiple processes and in higher levels of abstractions of areas in terms of resources and management, functionality, location of services, node architecture etc. (Riesen et al., 1998). Exact distinctions are necessary to create specific operating systems for massively parallel systems and to fully exploit their advantages. ...
This paper presents the Big Data phenomenon, introduces the importance of new processing techniques to provide solutions to handle Big Data and Geospatial Big Data. Recently, volume and variety of available data are evolving as never before, exceeding the capabilities of traditional algorithm performance and hardware/software environment in the aspect of data management and computation (Manyika et al., 2011; IDC, 2012; Evans and Hagen, 2013). Hence, improved efficiency is required to exploit the available information derived from Geospatial Big Data. Consequently, geospatial analysis needs to be reformed to exploit the capabilities of current and emerging computing environments via new data management and processing concepts. To understand the evaluation of the techniques, the differences and the requirements we need to go in deep into the Big Data solutions (including data, analytics and infrastructure, computing background). Existing Big Data definitions are provided and summarized within a figure to serve a complex perspective. After giving summary of existing Geospatial Big Data definitions I have provided my complex, synthetized version. Geospatial Big Analytics are introduced focusing on image processing algorithms (local, focal, zonal, and global) and their parallelization aspects. © 2018 Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote sensing.

Running untrusted user-level code inside an operating system kernel has been studied in the 1990's but has not really caught on. We believe the time has come to resurrect kernel extensions for operating systems that run on highly-parallel clusters and supercomputers. The reason is that the usage model for these machines differs significantly from a desktop machine or a server. In addition, vendors are starting to add features, such as floating-point accelerators, multicore processors, and reconfigurable compute elements. An operating system for such machines must be adaptable to the requirements of specific applications and provide abstractions to access next-generation hardware features, without sacrificing performance or scalability.
Sandia National Laboratories has been engaged in operating systems research for high-performance computing for more than two decades. The focus has always been extremely parallel systems and the most efficient systems software possible to complete the scientific work demanded by the laboratories’ mission. This chapter provides a chronological overview of the operating systems developed at Sandia and the University of New Mexico. Along the way we highlight why certain design decisions were made, what we have learned from our failures, and what has worked well. We summarize these lessons at the end of the chapter, but hope that the more detailed explanations in the text may be useful to future HPC OS designers.
Due to the rapid growth of resource sharing, distributed systems are developed, which can be used to utilize the computations. Data mining ( DM ) provides powerful techniques for finding meaningful and useful information from a very large amount of data, and has a wide range of real‐world applications. However, traditional DM algorithms assume that the data is centrally collected, memory‐resident, and static. It is challenging to manage the large‐scale data and process them with very limited resources. For example, large amounts of data are quickly produced and stored at multiple locations. It becomes increasingly expensive to centralize them in a single place. Moreover, traditional DM algorithms generally have some problems and challenges, such as memory limits, low processing ability, and inadequate hard disk, and so on. To solve the above problems, DM on distributed computing environment [also called distributed data mining (DDM)] has been emerging as a valuable alternative in many applications. In this study, a survey of state‐of‐the‐art DDM techniques is provided, including distributed frequent itemset mining, distributed frequent sequence mining, distributed frequent graph mining, distributed clustering, and privacy preserving of distributed data mining. We finally summarize the opportunities of data mining tasks in distributed environment. WIREs Data Mining Knowl Discov 2017, 7:e1216. doi: 10.1002/widm.1216

Information has been growing large enough to realize the need to extend traditional algorithms to scale. Since the data cannot fit in memory and is distributed across machines, the algorithms should also comply with the distributed storage. This chapter introduces some of the algorithms to work on such distributed storage and to scale with massive data. The algorithms, called Big Data Processing Algorithms, comprise random walks, distributed hash tables, streaming, bulk synchronous processing (BSP), and MapReduce paradigms. Each of these algorithms is unique in its approach and fits certain problems. The goal of the algorithms is to reduce network communications in the distributed network, minimize the data movements, bring down synchronous delays, and optimize computational resources. Data to be processed where it resides, peer-to-peer-based network communications, computational and aggregation components for synchronization are some of the techniques being used in these algorithms to achieve the goals. MapReduce has been adopted in Big Data problems widely. This chapter demonstrates how MapReduce enables analytics to process massive data with ease. This chapter also provides example applications and codebase for readers to start hands-on with the algorithms.
