What is the main difference between sequential, parallel, and distributed computing?

Parallel computing aims to reduce overall computation time by exploiting concurrency.

Distributed computing requires coordination and synchronization mechanisms to manage data dependencies and ensure correct execution.

Sequential computing involves communication overhead due to network communication, while parallel computing typically has lower communication overhead since it operates on shared memory or within a single system.

Sequential computing has no concurrency, while parallel and distributed computing exploits concurrency to execute tasks simultaneously.
