Distributed Computing
In: Technology
Imagine it takes a computer 10 minutes to add 2 numbers and you need to solve:
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10
It would take this hypothetical ridiculously slow computer 90 minutes to solve this problem.
You could use 2 computers instead. Have one computer solve 1+2+3+4+5 and the other computer solve 6+7+8+9+10 then add the result from both computers together, it now takes 55 minutes to solve the problem (including the final addition of combining the two results), add more computers and it gets even faster.
