töösõlmede

Töösõlmede, also known as "work nodes" in English, are a concept in computer science and distributed computing that refer to individual units within a network or cluster dedicated to performing specific tasks. These nodes are integral to the functioning of distributed systems, where tasks are divided among multiple nodes to improve efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Each töösõlmede is typically a standalone computer or server equipped with processing power, memory, and storage capabilities. They communicate with each other through a network, often using protocols designed for distributed computing, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) or Apache Hadoop's YARN. Töösõlmede can be homogeneous, meaning they all have the same specifications, or heterogeneous, with varying capabilities. The primary functions of töösõlmede include executing computational tasks, storing data, and managing resources within the distributed system. They play a crucial role in applications ranging from scientific computing and big data processing to cloud services and artificial intelligence. The coordination and management of töösõlmede are typically handled by a master node or a cluster manager, which ensures that tasks are distributed efficiently and that the overall system operates smoothly.
