Supercomputers are the most powerful computers currently available, used for highly complex scientific and engineering applications involving massive datasets or calculations. The first successful supercomputer was the CDC 6600, completed in 1964 for $8 million, and delivered to national laboratories. Current top supercomputers include Fujitsu's K computer, Oakforest-PACS, and machines from the US and China. Throughout their history, supercomputers have enabled weather forecasting, nuclear research, code breaking, and molecular modeling.

Super Computer
Supercomputers are extremely powerful computers used for complex calculations. The document discusses the history of supercomputers from ENIAC in 1946 to current systems exceeding 100 petaflops. Supercomputers run on Linux/Unix and must be cooled due to large heat output. They are used for weather modeling, climate research, materials science and nuclear weapons simulation. The fastest is Sunway Taihulight in China with over 10 million cores. Pakistan's fastest is at NUST with over 30,000 cores and used for research.

Supercomputers are the fastest and most powerful computers currently available. They are typically built with many processors that work together in parallel and are used to solve extremely complex problems. The first supercomputer was built in 1957 and since then, performance has increased dramatically with systems now capable of over 1000 trillion operations per second. Supercomputers are used for tasks like predicting weather patterns, modeling molecular interactions, and cryptanalysis.

Supercomputers are the largest, fastest and most powerful computers built for scientific applications requiring intensive mathematical calculations. They were first developed in the 1960s for the US Department of Defense and have since been used for weather forecasting, seismic analysis and other computationally demanding tasks. Supercomputers derive much of their speed from multiprocessing, which allows tasks to be performed simultaneously across multiple processing units.
4'th Fastest Super Computer
India has now official broke into top ten super computers in the world.
For the first time ever, India placed a system in the Top 10. The Computational Research Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Ltd. in Pune, India, installed a Hewlett-Packard Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c system. They integrated this system with their own innovative routing technology and achieved 117.9 TFlop/s performance.
The twice-yearly TOP500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers, already a closely watched event in the world of high performance computing, is expected to become an even hotter topic of discussion as the latest list shows five new entrants in the Top 10, which includes sites in the United States, Germany, India and Sweden.

Incremental process model
The document describes an incremental process model for software development. It is divided into sections that define the incremental process model, when it is used, pros, and cons. The incremental process model involves dividing the entire project into smaller increments, with each increment going through requirements analysis, design, coding, and testing. This allows working software to be developed quickly and added to over time until the full system is complete. The approach is useful when requirements are well understood but some details may change, or when early delivery to market is needed. Benefits include faster delivery and flexibility, while drawbacks include needing good upfront planning and potential higher total costs than traditional models.

The dhahram patriot missile failure
The Patriot missile system is a mobile air defense system designed to defend against aircraft, cruise missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles. It consists of radar units, engagement control stations, missile launchers, and communications support across multiple batteries. During the Gulf War, a Patriot battery in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia failed to intercept an incoming Iraqi Scud missile due to a software error that caused an inaccurate calculation of the system's clock time, allowing the Scud to hit a U.S. Army barracks and kill 28 soldiers.
The dhahram patriot missile failure (3)
The computer used to control the Patriot missile is based on a 1970s design and uses 24-bit arithmetic. The Patriot system tracks its target by measuring the time it takes for radar pulses to bounce back from them. Time is recorded by the system clock in tenths of a second, but is stored as an integer. To enable tracking calculations the time is converted to a 24-bit floating point number. Rounding errors in the time conversions cause shifts in the system's ``range gate", which is used to track the target.

Operating System Used by Users in day-to-day life.pptx
Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟
