  1. Explain Parallel Computing and Distributed Computing with neat and clean diagram. Parallel Computing: Parallel Computing is the use of two or more processors in a combined manner to solve a problem. It’s a tightly coupled system. Distributed Computing: Distributed Computing is the use of multiple computer systems linked in a network to solve a problem. It is a loosely coupled system.
  1. List five example of distributed system. Some of the examples of distributed system are as follows:
  2. Internet:
  3. Peer-to-Peer Network
  4. Distributed databases
  5. Cellular Network
  6. Aircraft Control System
  1. Define SMP. Draw a labelled diagram of SMP. Symmetric Multiprocessing(SMP) is a computer architecture where there are more than two processor sharing same memory and operating system. Also known as a tightly coupled system, SMP uses multiple processor with the help of single host OS to manage resource allocation to complete a task. SMP are used by time-sharing systems and server systems.
  1. List and explain three application areas of HPC. The ability of a computing device to compute data and complex calculation at very high speed is known as high-performance computing(HPC). Three application areas of HPC are as follows: A. Financial Services: HPC can be used by finance firms to keep track of stock trends and predict real- time stock price. B. Research Labs: Research labs can use HPC to find new sources of energy, predict natural phenomena, create new materials, and many more. C. Artificial Intelligence: With development of artificial intelligence, such system use HPC to process tons of data to obtain high-end results.
