Problem Description
What are the characteristics of distributed systems?
Solutions
Distributed systems have the following characteristics:
Concurrency: Multiple components in a distributed system can perform operations simultaneously, thereby increasing the processing power of the system.
Lack of global clock: Multiple nodes in a distributed system do not have a unified global clock, resulting in the time between nodes not being completely synchronized.
Fault independence: When a node in the distributed system fails, other nodes can still work normally, thus ensuring the reliability of the system.
Transparency: Distributed systems should be transparent to users. Users do not need to care about how the system is distributed, deployed, and communicated.
