1) Distributed Operating systems are also referred to as Loosely Coupled systems whereas parallel processin g systems are referred to as tightly coupled systems.
2) A Loosley coupled system is one in which the processors do not share memory and each processor has its own local memory whereas in a tightly coupled system there is a single systemwide primary memory shared by all the processors.
3) The processors of distributed operating systems can be placed far away from each other to cover a wider geographic area which is not the case with parallel processing systems.
4) The no. of processors that can be usefully deployed is very small in a parallel processing operating system whereas for a ditributed operating system a larger no. of processors can be usefully deployed.......

5)globle clock is used for controlling simd n mimd in parallel..... .in distributed no any global colck present in this synchronization algorithms are used
