Comparing alternative cellulosic biomass biorefining systems: Centralized versus distributed processing systems

Comparing Centralized and Decentralized Distributed Execution Systems

We implement two distributed execution systems one centralized and one decentralized. We test these systems in terms of how well they handle a high number of requests, distribute execution, and tolerate heterogeneity. Given the small size and homogeneity of our lab environment we find that the centralized system provides a much simpler yet equally effective alternative to the decentralized syst...

Advantages of Distributed Systems over Centralized Systems

Distributed system can also be referred to as the process of running a single computational task on more than one distinct computer. There are a lot of advantages in distributed system including the ability to connect remote users with remote resources in an open and scalable way. A distributed system must be reliable and for it to be truly reliable it must possess the following characteristics...

Comparing Centralized and Distributed Architectures

Comparing the Performance of Centralized and Distributed Coordination on Systems with Improved Combining Switches

Memory system congestion due to serialization of hot spot accesses can adversely affect the performance of interprocess coordination algorithms. Hardware and software techniques have been proposed to reduce this congestion and thereby provide superior system performance. The combining networks of Gottlieb et al. automatically parallelize concurrent hot spot memory accesses, improving the perfor...

Comparing Agent Interactions of Distributed and Centralized Multi-Agent Systems for Context-Aware Domains

Comparing the communication overhead of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is a complex problem and it does not have a single form. Distributed architectures of MAS are assumed to have greater robustness than centralized approaches. But the corresponding cost in terms of agents interactions is not often quantified in order to fairly evaluate the relative benefits of them. The present work focuses on eva...
