Fig. 4.3.2 Processors linked together to provide parallel processing.Fig. 4.3.2 shows that multiple processors are linked together to operate in a coordinated
manner. Each processor controls and manages its own data. Collectively, the data that
are managed constitute the volumes of data known as “big data.”
Note that the network is irregular in terms of its shape. Note that new nodes can be easily
added to the network. Also note that the processing that occurs in one node is entirely
independent of the processing that occurs in another node. Fig. 4.3.3 shows that several
nodes can be processed at the same time as other nodes.
