Expanded definition

Distributed computing involves dividing a task among multiple interconnected computers or nodes that work together to complete it. This approach can improve performance, fault tolerance, and scalability, allowing for the processing of large datasets or complex computations. Distributed computing is widely used in cloud computing, big data processing, and high-performance computing applications.
