Distributed Client Server Architectures

•A single logical database spread physically across computers in multiple locations that are connected & communicated by a data communications link (high-speed networks or telephone lines). •They do not share main memory or disks. •The computers in a distributed system may vary in size and function, ranging from workstations up to mainframe systems. Major Objectives •Location Transparency –User does not have to know the location of the data –Data requests automatically forwarded to appropriate sites •Local Autonomy –Local site can operate with its database when network connections fail –Each site controls its own data, security, logging, recovery The computers in a distributed system are referred to by a number of different names, such as sites or nodes, depending on the context in which they are mentioned. Advantages and Disadvantagesof DDB •Advantages  i) Sharing data ii) Autonomy iii) Availability •Disadvantages i) Software cost and complexity i...

Why do we need Distributed System?

Advantages of Distributed Systems Performance: very often a collection of processors can provide higher performance (and better price/performance ratio) than a centralized computer. Distribution: many applications involve, by their nature, spatially separated machines (banking, commercial, automotive system). Reliability (fault tolerance): if some of the machines crash, the system can survive. Incremental growth: as requirements on processing power grow, new machines can be added incrementally. Sharing of data/resources: shared data is essential to many applications (banking, computer supported cooperative work, reservation systems); other resources can be also shared (e.g. expensive printers). Communication: facilitates human-to-human communication. Disadvantages of Distributed Systems Difficulties of developing distributed software: how should operating systems, programming languages and applications look like? Networking problems: several problems are created ...

Switched-based

Image
Switched systems do not have a single backbone like cable television. Instead, there are individual wires from machine to machine, with many different wiring patterns in use. Messages move along the wires, with an explicit switching decision made at each step to route the message along one of the out-going wires. The worldwide public telephone system is organized in this way.   Switched Multiprocessors   To form a Switched Multiprocessors system with more than 64 processors, we need different methods to connect the CPUs with the memory. ● A Crossbar Switch & ● An Omega Switching Network ● NonUniform Memory Access A Crossbar Switch Each CPU and each memory (memory divided into modules) has a connection coming out of it, at every intersection is a tiny electronic crosspoint switch that can be opened and closed in hardware, as shown in Fig.6. When a CPU wants to access a particular memory, the crosspoint switch connecting them is closed momentarily, to allow th...
