Chapter 9, Problem 21E

Explanation of Solution

Distributed systems are desirable:

• The distributed systems include individual nodes that possess local memory, processor, an interface and input/output devices with interconnection.
• The processing loads are distributed evenly to all the processors.
• Performance of distributed systems:
  • The nodes of combined processing and combined storage are used to set the range of centralized machines.
  • The rate of processing is high.
• System scalability:
  • The processing rate and the memory size are increased incrementally.
• Faults reduced:
  • Redundant components are used to decrease the impact of hardware on users...
