The question of the functional organization interfaces end-user interaction with «Equant Cloud» computer system is considered. On basis analysis technologi-cal process its functioning in order to ensure performance functions preparation, carrying out calculations activity options on electric energy market and processing data calculation results, main typical operations were formulated, which in...

A new data acquisition technique allows a microcomputer simultaneously to digitize spikes at high rates, analyze spike waveforms for computer-based spike separation and manage other control tasks. The technique has two key features: a software scheduling routine written in a high-level language and a hardware analog delay of neuronal signals using simple hardware external to the computer. The t...

The tutorial is an introduction to programming today’s PC graphics hardware. It covers basic hardware architecture, optimization, programming interfaces and languages. It presents graphics and non-graphics applications. While the tutorial assumes basic knowledge in programming and principles of 3D computer graphic, familiarity with PC graphics hardware is unnecessary. The tutorial notes below a...

A write blocker allows read-only access to digital data on a secondary storage device by placing a hardware or software filter between the host computer and the storage device. The filter monitors I/O commands sent from the application on the host computer, only allowing commands to the device that make no changes to its data. This paper examines the I/O commands used to access secondary storag...

The computer and the cell both use information embedded in simple coding, the binary software code and the quadruple genomic code, respectively, to support system operations. A comparative examination of their system architecture as well as their information storage and utilization schemes is performed. On top of the code, both systems display a modular, multi-layered architecture, which, in th...

INTRODUCTION The classic approach to the development of Air Force operational computer programs has been to award separate contracts for the hardware and for the "software" aspects of an electronic system. The integration of the hardware and the "software" into a homogeneous total system has not always been a planned certainty, primarily due to the lack of definitive management procedures and c...

Although constrained by history, schedule, and hardware to triviality when compared to modem operating systems, the North American 701 Monitor was arguably the first operating system to be in operation. Installed in December 1955, the North American 701 Monitor was developed as a prototype monitor to extract more utilization from overburdened IBM 701'8 and pilot test the operating system concep...

Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...

The performance of a computer system is aaected by the characteristics of its various hardware and software subsytems. Hardware and software characterisation give the ability to change machine and programs parameters and observe their eeects on the performance of the system without changing the existing hardware which can be time consuming and cost prohibitive. This report provides a survey of ...
