Difference between parallel computing,distributed computing and cluster computing?

Parallel Computing
Distributed Computing
Cluster Computing
-Many calculations are carried out simultaneously
-Large problems can divided into smaller ones, which are solved concurrently in parallel


-Deals with hardware and software systems containing more than one processing element or storage element, concurrent processes, or multiple programs, running under controlled regime or by a network
-Hightly scalable
-Working together closely and form a single computer
-Mostly operate in shared memory mode
-Tightly coupled with high-speed networking,mostly with optical fiber channels
Examples: Multi-core,Multiprocessor SMP,Massively Parallel Processing(MPP) Computers
-Telecommunication network
-Network applications
Examples: HA,Load Balancing,Compute Clusters
