Overview of Computing Paradigms

Computing paradigms involve utilizing computer technology to complete tasks. Grid computing connects remote computers into a network to create a virtual supercomputer. Cluster computing links computers together so they act as a single entity for parallel processing. Distributed computing splits large tasks among multiple machines when a single machine lacks resources. Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources over the internet.

Question:

Briefly explain computing paradigm:

Answer:
What is Computing:
The process of utilizing computer technology to complete a task. Computing may involve computer
hardware and/or software, but must involve some form of a computer system.

 Grid computing
 Cluster computing
 Distributed computing
 Cloud computing
 Parallel computing

Grid Computing:
 Grid computing involves connecting geographically remote computers into a single network
to create a virtual supercomputer by combining the computational power of all computers
on grid.
 The Grid links together computing resources (PCs, workstations, servers, storage
elements) and provides the mechanism needed to access them.
 By implementing our proposed Intranet Grid, it is very easy to download multiple files very
fast
 In particular user to access the database. Further implementations could be carried out in
the nearest future

Cluster Computing:
 Cluster Computing is a form of computing in which a group of computers are linked
together so they can act like a single entity.
 It is the technique of linking two or more computers into a network (Usually through a local
area network) in order to take advantage of the parallel processing power of those
computers
Application:

 Google Search Engine


 Weather Forecasting
Benefits:

 High Processing power


 Cost Efficient
 High Availability
Distributed Computing:
 It’s the solution to the problem where your RAM is too small and your data are too big
and/or too CPU-intensive to be processed on a single machine.
 It split a big task into smaller tasks and execute them on multiple machines.

Benefits:
 All the nodes in the distributed system are connected to each other.

 More nodes can easily be added to the distributed system it can be scaled as required.
 Failure of one node does not lead to the failure of the entire distributed system.
