Supercomputer Supercomputer is a broad term for one of the fastest computers currently available. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations (number crunching). For example‚ weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers scientific simulations‚ (animated) graphics‚ fluid dynamic calculations‚ nuclear energy research‚ electronic design‚ and analysis of geological data (e.g.

Biometrics Biometrics[1] (or biometric authentication)[note 1] refers to the identification of humans by their characteristics or traits. Biometrics is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control.[2] It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are undersurveillance.[citation needed] Biometric identifiers are the distinctive‚ measurable characteristics used to label and describe

to perform operations on data.[1] Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits)‚ each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1)‚ quantum computation uses qubits (quantum bits)‚ which can be in superpositionsof states. A theoretical model is the quantum Turing machine‚ also known as the universal quantum computer. Quantum computers share theoretical similarities with non-deterministic

Computer Technician “The first special-purpose electronic digital computer was constructed in 1939 by John V. Atanasoff‚ an American mathematician and physicist. In 1944‚ Howard Aiken‚ a Harvard University professor‚ built another digital computer‚ the Mark 1.” (The World Book) To become a Computer Technician one needs at least one or two years of technical training and have good math skills. Computer technicians manage everybody’s computer problems‚ from installing machines to networks in homes

HISTORY AND APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTERS || INTRODUCTION When more than one thing is needed to work together before an action can take place‚ we say we have a system. The computer needs several things before it can be used to solve problems. Therefore‚ we say the computer is a system. We may have systems around us even in our body. How we eat or what happens to the food we eat is a system. This is called the Digestive System. We need mouth‚ tongue‚ teeth and stomach for us to make good

How Computer Addiction Works Obsessively checking e-mail. Playing online games for 12 hours or more at a time. Placing more value on chat-room friends than real friends. Neglecting family‚ work and even personal health and hygiene. These are all symptoms of a new form of addictionthat has surfaced only in recent years: computer addiction. Creating a single definition for computer addiction is difficult because the term actually covers a wide spectrum of addictions. Few people are literally addicted
