There are different types of scaling to consider in distributed computing:

Horizontal versus Vertical Scaling: Horizontal scaling refers to adding more machines to the system to improve its throughput, while vertical scaling means upgrading an existing machine to a larger one with more speed and resources.
**Horizontal versus Vertical Scaling**: Horizontal scaling refers to adding more machines to the system to improve its throughput, while vertical scaling means upgrading an existing machine to a larger one with more speed and resources.

Weak versus Strong Scaling: Strong scaling is defined as how the solution time varies with the number of processors for a fixed total problem size.
**Weak versus Strong Scaling**: Strong scaling is defined as how the solution time varies with the number of processors for a fixed total problem size.
Weak scaling is defined as how the solution time varies with the number of processors for a fixed problem size per processor.
In other words, strong scaling measures how much faster you can get a given problem done, whereas weak scaling measures how big a problem you can get done in a reasonable time.
