Remember the good old days when a bulky machine called a PC was something meant only for geeks. The 8086‚ 286‚ 386‚ 486 and the Pentium revolutionized the world of computing‚ but only for a short period of time. Then came in the laptops‚ notebooks or mobile computing which took technology a step ahead. It’s fair to say laptops have come a long way since the early 1990s‚ LCD displays have been replaced with sleek HD screens and the once plus-size machines are now zero sized models. If laptops have

Parallel Computing In India Introduction to Parallel Computing Traditionally‚ software has been written for serial computation: • To be run on a single computer having a single Central Processing Unit (CPU); • A problem is broken into a discrete series of instructions. • Instructions are executed one after another. • Only one instruction may execute at any moment in time. In the simplest sense‚ parallel computing is the simultaneous use of multiple compute resources to solve
