Distributed computing and systems software form the critical backbone of modern digital infrastructures by enabling a network of autonomous computers to work collaboratively. This paradigm supports ...

Whereas most modern IT architectures rely on a centralized data center or cloud solution, edge computing takes a different approach. By adopting a distributed computing model, this new solution ...

Distributed computing erupted onto the scene in 1999 with the release of SETI@home, a nifty program and screensaver (back when people still used those) that sifted through radio telescope signals for ...

Neel Somani, a researcher and technologist with a strong foundation in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, focuses on advancements of distributed computing across personal ...

Over the weekend, the people who manage the SETI@home distributed-computing project announced it would be going on hiatus at the end of March. The project was one of the first efforts that ...

The sheer volume of ‘Big Data’ produced today by various sectors is beginning to overwhelm even the extremely efficient computational techniques developed to sift through all that information. But a ...

The difference between distributed computing and concurrent programming is a common area of confusion as there is a significant amount of overlap between the two when you set out to accomplish ...

As a subset of distributed computing, edge computing isn’t new, but it exposes an opportunity to distribute latency-sensitive application resources more optimally. Every single tech development these ...
