Supercomputer

A study was conducted on the gamers playing the game Foldit. The scientists that developed this game thought these gamers could outsmart supercomputers at the objective of the game. And the gamers proved them right. Researchers had been working on the solution for the structure of the enzyme that causes Aids-like diseases in monkeys for thirteen years, whereas the gamers solved it within three…

Then, we can write programs to solve them. The typical languages are Fortran and C. Normally the programs are run on workstations or supercomputers. At the end, we can get our simulation results. We can compare and analyze the simulation results with experiments and the real problem. If the results are not sufficient to solve the problem, we have to repeat the process until find satisfied…

studied in tissue cultures. The only way computer models can be reliable is if, and only if, accurate data gleaned from animal research is being used to form the models to begin with. Furthermore, even if we bring the most advanced, and capable supercomputer there is out…

something no other college did. He mentioned that UAB was building an entirely new building specifically for the computer science department which will be completed just before my first semester. He also said that UAB was home to the fastest supercomputer in the state, operating at four hundred and fifty teraflops. He also told us about the Co-Op where students can work at startup incubators to earn both college credits and money at the same time. Although UAB is mainly regarded as a medical…

Project Success: Facebook The website was born as a focused network in almost immature task of comparing the girls at Harvard University. Due to the success, part of the community became a yearning among students. First at Harvard, then at Stanford, Columbia, Yale and MIT. This was the driving force factor of the first moments of the network, in the United States and Britain. But what really catapulted the network, which has surpassed 500 million users, was the decision to maintain its API…

What is technology? Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, and methods to solve a problem and to achieve a goal. Technology rapidly advancing every day to create a more efficient human life. However, technology is advancing rapidly to the point where it is becoming too intelligent, unpredictable, and uncontrollable. Advancing technology has many benefits, but people are missing out on the risks it also brings. There are two main risks in…

also creates the disposable lighter. In 1974, post-it notes are invented as well as liposuction. In 1975, the laser printer was invented. In 1976, the ink-jet printer was invented. In 1979, Cell phones are invented. Also in this decade, a Cray supercomputer is invented, as well as a Walkman and…

Nicholas Carr vs Kevin Kelly Imagine a world where the internet, electronic devices, smartphones, or any type of technology that you have ever known, did not exist. How could you live without these tools? Technology has been innovating society for the past centuries. People all around the world have been benefited by the new products that technology has to offer. It is almost impossible to imagine a society without technology. This new tech era has made communication stronger than ever and will…

Throughout time the world has evolved. It has constantly changed, from our great ancestors discovering fire for the first time to the world’s first commercial jet pack and everything in between. As days go by technology continues to advance and thus keeps the world progressing, “By virtue of the intensive infiltration of digital devices into our daily lives, we have radically altered how we communicate with one another and with our entire social network at once” (Topol), Eric emphasizes the…

is changing humans, how they are raising their children, and even the way their children think. Google has made things really easy. If one wanted to know when the moon landing was, they would type that into the search engine and let Google's supercomputers do the rest. When do they do any real work when it comes to…
