EC2, MapReduce, and Distributed Processing
This document defines and discusses three key concepts related to distributed computing: distributed processing, asynchronous processing, and parallel processing. Distributed processing refers to running an application across multiple computers or processors connected via a local area network. Asynchronous processing involves computations that run independently without constant synchronization. Parallel processing means simultaneously solving a problem across separate CPU cores.
