Distributed Systems Transparency Quiz

What does access transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

• Accessing local and remote resources using identical operations

• Accessing resources using different operations

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

What does location transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

• Accessing local and remote resources using identical operations

• Accessing resources using different operations

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

What does concurrency transparency enable in a group project?

• Enabling several team members to work concurrently using shared resources without interference

• Accessing project resources using different operations

• Accessing local and remote project resources using identical operations

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

What does replication transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

• Accessing resources using different operations

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

• Enabling multiple instances of resources to be used to increase reliability and performance without knowledge of the replicas by users or application programmers

What does failure transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

• Accessing local and remote resources using identical operations

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

• Enables the concealment of faults, allowing users and application programs to complete their tasks despite the failure of hardware or software components

What does mobility transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

• Allows the movement of resources and clients within a system without affecting the operation of users or programs

• Enables the concealment of faults, allowing users and application programs to complete their tasks despite the failure of hardware or software components

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

What does performance transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

• Allows the movement of resources and clients within a system without affecting the operation of users or programs

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

• Enables the system to be reconfigured to improve performance as loads vary

What does scaling transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Allows the system and applications to expand in scale without change to the system structure or the application algorithms

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

• Enables the system to be reconfigured to improve performance as loads vary

• Accessing resources without knowledge of their physical location

What does parallelism transparency enable in distributed systems?

• Enables parallel activities to run without users knowing how, where and when it is made possible by the systems

• Allows the system and applications to expand in scale without change to the system structure or the application algorithms

• Enables the system to be reconfigured to improve performance as loads vary

• Enabling parallel activities to run without interference

What does network transparency in distributed systems encompass?
