million. This rapid rate of improvement has come both from advances in the technology used to build computers and from innovation in computer design. Although technological improvements have been fairly steady‚ progress arising from better computer architectures has been much less consistent. During the first 25 years of electronic computers‚ both forces made a major contribution; but beginning in about 1970‚ computer designers became largely dependent upon integrated circuit technology. During the 1970s

A client-server application is a distributed system consisting of both client and server software. The clientprocess always initiates a connection to the server‚ while the server process always waits for requests from any client.

Report on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ABSTRACT SOA is a design for linking business and computational resources (principally organizations‚ applications and data) on demand to achieve the desired results for service consumers (which can be end users or other services). Service-orientation describes an architecture that uses loosely coupled services to support the requirements of business processes and users. Resources on a network in a SOA environment are made available as independent

Bernet Kempers‚ Ageless Borobudur‚ 23) This explains why the structure of Borobudur is a type of “enclosure architecture” – it is made up of several enclosures‚ “one surrounding the other… with each new enclosure situated several meters higher than the one before” (A.J.

Right to own an architecture (by Wolfgang Koehler‚ Memmingen‚ Germany 10/2008) The social issue I would like to discuss here is: “Suppose a computer manufacturer develops a new machine architecture. To what extent should the company be allowed to own that architecture? What policy would be best for society?” To develop a new machine architecture would require many recourses. Manpower‚ research laboratories‚ manufacturing equipment and last but not least a lot of money. Since companies are

Lars von Trier propose that‚ beyond its traditional conventions of representation‚ architecture resides in the superimposition of space‚ movement‚ and events. The event‚ in particular‚ is the figurative origin of architecture itself‚ through which Tschumi proposes an architecture of difference and opposition rather than synthesis and totality. Narrative techniques—be they pictorial or cinematic—evoke the ability of fiction to produce an alternative form of critique. Bernard Tschumi was already widely

Greek & Etruscan Architecture Greek and Etruscan architecture began to take shape during the Archaic and Early Classical periods. There were similarities between the early Greek and Etruscan architectural styles‚ but there were far more differences. One of the most obvious similarities between the Greek and Etruscan styles was the use of a gabled roof. A gabled roof resembles a triangle in that it has a peak in the middle‚ and then has two straight slopes from the peak to each side wall.
