| client/server computing | クライアント/サーバー コンピューティング (A model of computing whereby client applications running on a desktop or personal computer access information on remote servers or host computers. The client portion of the application is typically optimized for user interaction, whereas the server portion provides centralized, multiuser functionality) |
| cloud computing | クラウド コンピューティング (A type of computing that uses groups of servers and scalable resources, generally a platform as a service and software as a service, over the Internet) |
| computing device | コンピューティング デバイス (A piece of equipment that is used for running programs) |
| distributed computing | 分散コンピューティング (A form of information processing in which work is performed by separate computers linked through a communications network. Distributed processing is usually categorized as either plain distributed processing or true distributed processing. Plain distributed processing shares the workload among computers that can communicate with one another. True distributed processing has separate computers perform different tasks in such a way that their combined work can contribute to a larger goal. The latter type of processing requires a highly structured environment that allows hardware and software to communicate, share resources, and exchange information freely) |
| Distributed Computing Environment | 分散コンピューティング環境 (A set of standards from the Open Group (formerly the Open Software Foundation) for development of distributed applications that can operate on more than one platform. One of two types of hardware connected by an RS-232-C serial connection, the other being a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. A DCE is an intermediary device that often transforms input from a DTE before sending it to a recipient. A modem, for example, is a DCE that modulates data from a microcomputer (DTE) and sends it along a telephone connection) |
| high-performance computing | ハイパフォーマンス コンピューティング (The type of computing that uses supercomputers or computer clusters to address computation problems which require high bandwidth, low latency networking, very high compute capabilities, etc) |
| social computing | ソーシャル コンピューティング (An area of computer science concerned with creating or recreating social conventions and social contexts online through the use of software and technology) |
