distributed computing
(redirected from Distributed Computing Architecture)

distributed computing

(1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing.

(2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. This use of the term was coined in the late 1970s when minicomputers were first installed in departments throughout a company instead of deploying terminals to a mainframe.

distributed computing [di‚strib·yəd·əd kəm′pyüd·iŋ]
(computer science)
The use of multiple network-connected computers for solving a problem or for information processing.
