James University of Phoenix POS/335 Monday April 9‚ 2012 Terance Carlson This paper will discuss three main operating systems‚ Windows‚ Linux‚ and OS X. All three of these operating systems have features which are unique unto themselves. Although there may be arguments as to which one of these three operating systems is better it really all comes down to what features are needed for each user. This paper will describe the features that each of these operating systems has to offer

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

The computer didn’t start selling until 1982‚ then featuring a 320×200 screen‚ an Intel 8086 processor‚ 340 KB of magnetic bubble memory (a now obsolete‚ non-volatile memory type) and a 1200 bps modem. It weighed 5 kg (11 lb) and cost $8-10‚000. The GRiD was mainly used by NASA and the US military. The first Apple personal computers (Apple
