Distributed Systems
Distributed systems refer to a software architecture where components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. This design allows for resource sharing, scalability, and fault tolerance, as the system can continue functioning even if individual components fail. By distributing tasks across multiple nodes, distributed systems enhance performance and reliability while enabling collaboration among diverse resources.
