a VPU or a visual processing unit‚ is a specialised electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in frame buffer intended for output to a display. GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics‚ and their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than genera; purpose CPUs for algorithms where processing of large blocks of data is done in parallel. It is a specialized circuit designed to accelerate the image output in

Introduction to computer Basics Background This topic will discuss the introduction to the use of the computer in the business area‚ including the basic hardware and software concepts. Information technology (IT) is one of the key resources in the modern business environment. We have lived during the past 20 years in a period that has strongly emphasised the strategic importance of information technology. Consequently‚ those currently involved in management have a clear vision of the technology’s

Computer Memory MEMORY IS THE INTERNAL STORAGE AREA OF THE COMPUTER. MEMORY IDENTIFIES THE DATA STORAGE.THE PHYSICAL MEMORY USUALLY REFERRED TO US MAIN MEMORY OR RAM. Different types of computer Memory Hard Disk Drive. The hard disk drives are among the most common types of computer memory. They can store the data and information long term as this is where you store your music‚ games‚ documents‚ and the like. Hard drives work much like records. They are spinning platters that have arms with head

Computer Animation Computer animators work to bring objects to life through the use of computer graphics. Like traditional animators‚ computer animators manipulate graphics and images to simulate movement. However‚ unlike traditional animators‚ computer animators use digital technology to create new visual effects and motions that help avoid the monotonous‚ frame-by-frame drawing required for each picture. Computer animation is a very lucrative business and shows no sign of slowing down in the future

The Computer Revolution If I were to make a history book of the years from 1981 to 1996‚ I would put computers on the cover. Computers‚ you may ask?‚ Yes computers‚ because if there were suddenly no computers on the world‚ there would be total chaos. People could not; communicate‚ commute‚ make business transactions‚ purchase things‚ or do most things in their daily routine‚ because power plants use computers to control the production of electricity. Computers have evolved extreme rapidly

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 Crime: Prevention and Innovation Since the introduction of computers to our society‚ and in the early 80 ’s the Internet‚ the world has never been the same. Suddenly our physical world got smaller and the electronic world set its foundations for an endless electronic reality. As we approach the year 2000‚ the turn of the millennium ‚ humanity has already well established itself into the "Information Age." So much in fact that as a nation we find our selves out of a service economy

Computer And Society Computer and Society Society can be defined as “a community‚ nation‚ or broad grouping of people having common traditions‚ institutions‚ and collective activities and interests. To understand the full impact of computers on society‚ we will first have to understand the meaning of ’computer’. Almost everything we know in today’s society is either operated or made by computers. Cars and jets were designed on computers‚ traffic signals are operated by computers‚ most

Computers: One Major Step in Globalization In 1941‚ a German engineer named Konrad Zuse invented the first computer called the Z3 (http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/?year=1941). It was a functional program- controlled computer. During this time there was a series of events recorded that entailed the beginning stages of computer use. Over time‚ the development became greater‚ one example being that one computer at that time would be the size of a medium sized room‚ whereas now‚ a computer
