Parallel and Distributed Computing: Lecture - 02 Week - 01

This document contains notes from a lecture on parallel and distributed computing. It discusses synchronous vs asynchronous communication, including persistent vs transient communication. Examples of different types of communication are provided, such as persistent asynchronous, persistent synchronous, transient asynchronous, and various types of transient synchronous communication. Distributed system communication terminology and concepts like receipt-based, delivery-based, and response-based communication are also covered.

Synchronous and Asynchronous
Communication

 Asynchronous Communications:

A sender continues with other work immediately upon sending a message to the receiver.

 Synchronous Communications:

A sender blocks, waiting for a reply from the receiver before doing any other work. (This tends to be the
default model for RPC/RMI technologies).

DS Communications Terminology

 Persistent Communications:

 Once sent, the “sender” can stop executing. The “receiver” need not be operational at this time – the
communications system buffers the message as required (until it can be delivered).

 Transient Communications:

 The message is only stored as long as the “sender” and “receiver” are executing. If problems occur, the
message is simply discarded …
