Multiscreen systems

It is the use of multiple physical display devices, such as monitors, televisions, and projectors, in order to increase the area available for computer programs running on a single computer system.

The system can be run by a single CPU or multiple CPUs

Multi-head may increase the productivity by up to 40-50%.

Super Computers A supercomputer is a computer

which increases processing capacity-particularly speed of calculation.

These systems work in two ways : In one approach is a large number

of computers distributed across a network devote some or all of their time to solving a common problem each individual computer receives and completes many small tasks, reporting the results to a central server which integrates the task results into the overall solution.

In another approach, a large number of dedicated processors are placed in close proximity to each other; this saves considerable time moving data around and makes it possible for the processors to work together, for example in mesh architectures.

Cray Titan – 17.59 PetaFLOPS

Supercomputers are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields. Quantum mechanics. Weather forecasting Climate research Oil and gas

exploration Molecular modeling Aerodynamics Counter-

cryptography.

NUDT Tianha – 33.86 PetaFLOPS

Radio dog collar

Used for tracking

Works on radio waves of particular frequency

Has to be in Line of sight

Can be used as a communication means also.

Servers A server is a system that

responds to requests across a computer network to provide a network service.

Servers are computer programs running to serve the requests of other programs, the clients. Thus, the server performs some task on behalf of clients.

Servers can be run on a dedicated computer, which is also often referred to as "the server", but many networked computers are capable of hosting servers.

Typical computing servers are • Database server• File server• Mail server• Print server• Web server• Gaming server, etc.

Internet It is a global system of

interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users worldwide.

It is a network of networks 

Consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.

Computer worms  A worm is designed to

tunnel into your system and allow malicious users to control your computer remotely.

Does not require an action to spread

Can make multiple copies of itself. (E-mail)

Slows down computers n networks significantly.

Transatlantic Telecommunication Cable

A transatlantic telecommunications cable is a submarine communications cable running under the Atlantic Ocean.

All modern cables use fiber optic technology.

Most such cables connect  London, England to New York City, USA

Built mainly for high-speed requirements of international financial transactions.
