What is Computer?

Charles Babbage is also known as the father of the computer. Processor: It executes instructions from software and hardware. Memory: It is the primary memory for data transfer between the CPU and storage. Motherboard: It is the part that connects all other parts or components of a computer. Storage Device: It permanently stores the data, e.g., hard drive. Input Device: It allows you to communicate with the computer or to input data, e.g., a keyboard. Output Device: It enables you to see the output, e.g., monitor. Computers are divided into different types based on different criteria. It is a single-user computer which has less speed and storage capacity than the other types. It uses a microprocessor as a CPU. The first microcomputer was built with 8-bit microprocessor chips. The common examples of microcomputers include laptops, desktop computers, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablets, and smartphones. Mini-computers are also known as "Midrange Computers." They are not designed for a single. They are multi-user computers designed to support multiple users simultaneously.

Pratt, a staff member at the NYU Game Center. He emphasizes the unique dynamic which emerges when games become not just public diversions, but a source of conversation within a social setting. Stepping off the elevators onto the NYU Tisch building's 9th floor, one of the first games immediately visible was actually a non-digital card game. Designed by Zach Gage, creator of popular iOS games Spelltower and Bit Pilot, Guts of Glory is like a more approachable version of Magic: The Gathering themed around post-apocalyptic gastronomy. Each participant draws a 5-card hand - the player's "mouth" - and takes turns strategically "chewing" and "spewing" the different foods those cards represent to acquire points. The game's vocabulary is, obviously, pretty unique. Gage. "It's this kind of mix of trying to have the things you need to get the points you want, but also trying to keep your mouth not totally full, so you don't have to spew." The "spew" mechanic makes it so that other players can get significantly more points from the cards in your hand, if you don't manage them properly.

Some examples of game console clusters are Sony PlayStation clusters and Microsoft Xbox clusters. Another example of consumer game product is the Nvidia Tesla Personal Supercomputer workstation, which uses multiple graphics accelerator processor chips. Besides game consoles, high-end graphics cards too can be used instead. The use of graphics cards (or rather their GPU's) to do calculations for grid computing is vastly more economical than using CPU's, despite being less precise. However, when using double-precision values, they become as precise to work with as CPU's and are still much less costly (purchase cost). Computer clusters have historically run on separate physical computers with the same operating system. With the advent of virtualization, the cluster nodes may run on separate physical computers with different operating systems which are painted above with a virtual layer to look similar. The cluster may also be virtualized on various configurations as maintenance takes place; an example implementation is Xen as the virtualization manager with Linux-HA.

This type of format had certain advantages over interfaces in which the user typed text- or character-based commands on a keyboard to perform routine tasks. A GUI’s windows, pull-down menus, dialog boxes, and other controlling mechanisms could be used in new programs and applications in a standardized way, so that common tasks were always performed in the same manner. The Lisa’s GUI became the basis of Apple’s Macintosh personal computer, which was introduced in 1984 and proved extremely successful. The Macintosh was particularly useful for desktop publishing because it could lay out text and graphics on the display screen as they would appear on the printed page. The Macintosh’s graphical interface style was widely adapted by other manufacturers of personal computers and PC software. In 1985 the Microsoft Corporation introduced Microsoft Windows, a graphical user interface that gave MS-DOS-based computers many of the same capabilities of the Macintosh. Windows became the dominant operating environment for personal computers. Da᠎ta w​as c reated by G SA Con᠎te nt G ener​ator  Demover᠎sion.
