They have a word size of 64 bits, which aids memory and data intensive applications (eg…) and are compatible with older operating systems; this eliminates costs of buying new systems. Physics research can be very detailed and deal with a large amount of information and numbers, 64-bit CPUs can cope with this in a faster more accurate way. Physicists work on advancements in science and knowledge of how and why things work, if there are computer processing units that are more advanced and help get work done more easily and quickly then there are only advantages to using them. 2) How does the concept of distributed computing differ from that of parallel computing? Distributed computing (“a computer system spread over several machines, especially over a network”) are groups of individual computers connected so that they can work together in order to complete a task. Parallel computing (“involving the simultaneous performance of operations”) parallel : Involving the simultaneous performance of
