Supercomputer

Mainframes and supercomputers are incredible pieces of technology that are capable of amazing things. A mainframe is capable of handling a large quantity of data in a short period of time while a supercomputer is capable of solving complex scientific calculations. Both the mainframes and the supercomputers have a lot to offer and they are capable of great things. A supercomputer can perform some incredible functions. Scientific research and simulation are two of the great functions, which interconnect

Supercomputers The most powerful computers in the technology world are the Supercomputers. Hence, as the word ‘super’ elaborate that supercomputers are usually used for the projects that needs to process large amount of data, at very high speed. Supercomputers not only has the high processing power; they are also huge in size. You need a big room to fit in a supercomputer, and a strong cooling system to avoid getting a supercomputer to get overheated. They usually have more than one CPU’s to generate

What is Disruptive Technology? Disruptive technology is a new method of doing things that originally does not meet the needs of obtainable customers. It tends to unlock new market and destroy old ones. A disruptive Technology is a technology that creates a new market and value network and which has the potential to eventually disrupt an existing market and value network, or they can even displace established market leading firms, or products and alliances. The term was defined and phenomenon analyzed

3.1 Cyber Warfare Richard A. Clark, an expert in security sector governance in his book Cyber War (May 2010), defines Cyber War as an act of penetration of a country against other computer network with the intent of causing damage and disruption. The Economist magazine explained that cyber war is the fifth domain of warfare, after land, sea, air and space. Cyber warfare, (also known as cyber war and Cyber warfare), is a war with the use of computer networks and the Internet in cyberspace (cyber space)

History of Computers Introduction In today’s modern world, it’s hard to imagine life without computers. Throughout the decades, computers have gotten better, faster, and smaller. It’s hard to imagine that before the 20th century almost all calculations were done by mechanical devices such as the electromechanical computers; or, the first digital computers that had huge tubes around them that you had to designate a whole room just to fit the computer in. Today we have Internet, phone book, pictures

Even though Exascale computing is providing very good opportunities in the field of science, like in the understanding of the behavior of the fundamental components of nature. In order to build an Exascale scale system we have to overcome some of the critical challenge like architecture, software, algorithm and data challenges. Some of the important challenges of the Exascale computing are, Challenges due to scale and complexity of system Previously the power of super computers has grown by doubling

Introduction Former counsel to the National Security Agency, Joel Brenner, said, “The Internet was not built for security, yet we have made it the backbone of virtually all private sector and government operations, as well as communications” (Lee, Anderson, & Connolly, 2014, p. 9). He continued and said it has brought with it dramatic gains, but it has created excessive vulnerabilities (p. 9). It is the feeling across the world that people’s identities and business will constantly be under attack

IBM developed a supercomputer named Watson. It was named after the first CEO of IBM, Thomas Watson. A supercomputer operates faster than any other computer. Watson can understand and process natural language (Wagle, 2013). First, Watson gets loaded with materials and then has automatic updates when new information is published. When a question is asked, Watson searches the database to find the possible answers by evaluating the possible meanings of the questions being asked. Watson then rates

Parallel processing computers have many processors working in parallel; the difficulty is to make sure the problem is synchronized properly and the programs are organized to take advantage. Cray Computer's supercomputer XT3 is a scalable, parallel design which can be scaled up to very huge. In a single cabinet, it can hold 96 AMD Opteron processors, which can operate at 998 GFlops per cabinet using dual-core processors. To support this it has a 64K instruction cache, a 64K data cache, and a 1 MB

Critical Thinking Assignment 2: Supercomputers, Mainframe Computers, and Personal Computers Nabeel Janjua Info-300-001 Virginia Commonwealth University Abstract: There are many different types and forms of computers. What we see as a fast computer for our personal use is actually nothing compared to computers used by companies to perform vast amount of data gathering and computation. The main difference between computers can be categorized into three different categories
