Essay 10 years beyond: The role of biomedical computing in future health care. I believe that in 10 years from now‚ the role of biomedical computing will grow tremendously and it will become a crucial issue for the healthcare. Most important components of biomedical computing will probably include such technologies as biomedical imaging and visualization‚ capabilities of modern computing required for genome-related analysis‚ medical robotics‚ computer-based diagnostics and treatment systems

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient‚ on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.‚ networks‚ servers‚ storage‚ applications‚ and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Cloud computing incorporates virtualization‚ on-demand

CHAPTER 5: SCHEDULING 5.1 SCHEDULING Definition: Scheduling is the major concept in multitasking and multiprocessing operating system design‚ and in real-time operating system design. In advanced operating system‚ many processes run than the CPUs available to run them. Scheduling refers the way processes are assigned to run on the available CPUs. This assignment is carried out by software known as a scheduler or sometimes referred to as a dispatcher. Objectives of Scheduling are: Maximize CPU

History of computing hardware The history of computing hardware is the record of the constant drive to make computer hardware faster‚ cheaper‚ and store more data. Before the development of the general-purpose computer‚ most calculations were done by humans. Tools to help humans calculate were then called "calculating machines"‚ by proprietary names‚ or even as they are now‚ calculators. It was those humans who used the machines who were then called computers; there are pictures of enormous rooms

users exploded in recent years. The same thing happens to many other companies. For example‚ Google develops Google File System[1] and builds Bigtable[2] and MapReduce[3] computing framework on top of it for processing massive data; Amazon designs several distributed storage systems like Dynamo[4]; and Facebook uses Hive[5] and HBase for data analysis‚ and uses HayStack[6] for the storage of photos.! ! These distributed systems often have some important features‚ such as availability‚ scalability

What is Soft Computing ? (adapted from L.A. Zadeh) Lecture 1 What is soft computing Techniques used in soft computing • Soft computing differs from conventional (hard) computing in that‚ unlike hard computing‚ it is tolerant of imprecision‚ uncertainty‚ partial truth‚ and approximation. In effect‚ the role model for soft computing is the human mind. 1 2 What is Hard Computing? • Hard computing‚ i.e.‚ conventional computing‚ requires a precisely stated analytical model and often a lot of

Towards Trusted Cloud Computing Nuno Santos Krishna P. Gummadi Rodrigo Rodrigues MPI-SWS Abstract Cloud computing infrastructures enable companies to cut costs by outsourcing computations on-demand. However‚ clients of cloud computing services currently have no means of verifying the confidentiality and integrity of their data and computation. To address this problem we propose the design of a trusted cloud computing platform (TCCP). TCCP enables Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers

every two years. Moore ’s law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. Moore ’s law is a rule of thumb in the computer industry about the growth of computing power over time. Attributed to Gordon E. Moore the co-founder of Intel‚ it states that the growth of computing power follows an empirical exponential law. Moore originally proposed a 12 month

11 December 2013 Hunting and Dark Green Religion with a Twist of Sport Hunting Dark Green Religion and hunting go hand in hand in the traditional sense. According to Dark Green Religion‚ as exemplified by Bron Taylor‚ the death of an animal should be appreciated and teach us the ethics of loving and caring for the bounty of our planet. Farm animals are killed all the time with the justification that they are for food. The conditions those animals deal with are explicitly anti-DGR. There are several
