Parallel and Distributed computing - 1

Before starting with Parallel computing first talk about some other things which are related to it.


Centralized computing: In centralized computing, all or most of the processing/computing is performed on the central server. Central server deploys all the computing, administration and management resources. Then it is responsible for delivering application logic, processing and providing computing resources to attached client machines.

Centralized computing is similar to the client-server architecture where one or more client PCs are connected to a central server.


Distributed Computing:  In distributed computing, there is a system with multiple components which are located on different machines and they communicate and coordinate in such a way that they appear as a single system to end-user.

In Google search, there is the concept of distributed computing. Every request is handled by 1000s of computers who crawls the web and returns the results. To us, Google appears to be one system but is made up of many computers working together to complete one single task.


Client-Server Computing paradigm:  There is a server process that is running on host/server which provides access to a service and a client process which is running on the client-side which requests or accesses the service via the server process. This interaction proceeds by following a protocol. Its applications are HTTP, DNS, FTP, finger and many internet services are client-server application.


Middleware: Middleware is a software that provides services beyond those are provided by the operating system so that the other various components can communicate and manage data. It's a software layer between the operating system and applications. Middlewares includes web servers and application servers.

3 hacks to wake up early in the morning

So this is what everyone says that we have to wake up early in the morning. Yes, it's good to wake up early and this could be the best decision you will take in your life.   I have read this somewhere that " If you want to change your life, do nothing just start waking up early in the morning and things will start happening ". So yes waking up early in the morning is going to help you a lot and it will surely help in changing your life. Now the question that arises is how we can wake up early in the morning? We all want to wake up early at 5 or 6 Am in the morning but when the clock hits 5 and your alarm makes the sound, your mind says just 5 minutes more and these 5 minutes end up at 1 hour.  So the question is how can we make it to wake up early in the morning. So in this article, I'm sharing 3 hacks that can surely help you in achieving your goal of waking up early in the morning.  The secret of waking up early doesn't lie in the process of waking up early in

Flow Network | Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm

Flow Network is a directed graph in which each edge has a capacity and each edge receives a flow.  In this blog, we will discuss the following things: Introduction of:  network, max-flow problem capacity, flow Ford-Fulkerson method pseudo code, residual networks, augmenting paths cuts of networks Introduction -  Network We can understand Network by looking into some examples: liquids flowing in pipes, parts through assembly lines in a factory, the current through electrical network. Flow Network: Directed graph, G=(V, E)                              where V is set of vertices,                                            E is set of Edges. Max-Flow problem Max-flow problem is about finding the feasible flow through a flow network and with maximum possible flow rate. Capacity( of an edge ) Capacity is the maximum limit of flow that edge can allow. If (u,v) ∉ E ⇒ c(u,v) = 0 Flow It is the amount that is currently flowing now in an edge. Flow in G=(V, E) : f: VxV -> R with 3 properties:
