Distributed Computing

Distributed computing is a field within theoretical computer science that studies how tasks can be divided and executed across multiple computers, which work together to solve complex problems more efficiently. Instead of relying on a single machine, distributed systems leverage the power of several connected computers that communicate and coordinate with each other. This approach enhances performance, scalability, and reliability, as tasks can be processed simultaneously. Examples include cloud computing and large-scale data processing, where data is distributed across servers to handle larger workloads and provide faster results.
