Advancements in parallel computing will eventually proliferate down to ordinary PCs

         Parallel programming, once an obscure niche, is the focus of increased interest is multicore chips proliferate in ordinary PCs. A question you might well ask is whether or not computers have stopped getting faster? If you looked only at the clock speeds of microprocessor chips, you might well think so. A modern PC typically has a processor running at about 3 GHz or 3 billion clock ticks per second. However little changed from a PC maker for years ago. Clock speeds, which is to double every couple of years have stopped increasing because this chips clocked higher speeds become difficult to keep cool and much less energy efficient. Instead, an extra processing power has been added in recent years by packaging multiple processing engines will cause inside a single chip. Modern computers and laptops typically a dual core processors and some have quad core written six core chips.

       You might expect a six core machine to be six times faster than a machine with a single core microprocessor. Yet the most tasks it is not. That is because nearly all software is still designed to run on single core chips, in other words it is designed to do only one thing at a time. A few pieces of special software can take advantage of multiple cores such as image processing software, for example which may divide up the task and farm about multiple cores together done faster combining the results when each chorus finished its work. In the computer's operating system may be able to assign different tasks to different cause to ensure that for example, video playback and a web browser does not slow down while hard disk is scanned for viruses. The spellchecker will not run six times faster on a six core machine and assist in specially written to share out the work between the available cause so that they can tackle the job in parallel.

        When are going to have faster processors say most computer scientists including ones from the Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory in California. Instead making software run faster in the future will mean using parallel programming techniques. This will be a huge shift. At present mainstream programs written for personal computers such as wordprocessing software and specialist programs written to supercomputers with thousands of processes such as climate modelling protein folding software written using entirely different tools are images and techniques. After all, software written for one sort of machine is not expected to work on the other.

          The distinction between the two is slowly breaking down. Intel, the world's biggest chipmaker has demonstrated a 48 core processor and chipset hundreds of cores seem likely within a few years. What was once an obscure academic problem such as finding ways to make easy to write software that can take full advantage of the power of parallel processing is rapidly becoming a problem for the whole industry. Unless it is solved David Smith Gartner, market research firm predicts that there will be a growing divide between computers theoretical and actual performance.

          Surely this problem will be solved by some bright young entrepreneur who will devise a new panel programming language and make a fortune in the process? Alas, designing languages is not centred right path to fame and riches. Even the inventors of the successful languages are mostly unknown within the industry that alone outside it. Can you name the inventor of Cobol, C, Java or pipe and the answers are Grace Murray Hopper, Dennis Ritchie, James Gosling and Guido Van Rossum. There are thousands of programming languages and only a handful are used by more than the inventors, notes David Paterson, computer scientists at the University of California Berkely.

         However, the inventions in this space that do eventually prove useful will be of enormous commercial value at some point and it will be important to protect intellectual property held in these inventions. This is why patenting these ideas and intellectual property held in them will become very important in the future.

Samsung Galaxy Note A Path Breaking Mobile Device!

         The South Korean mobile phone maker very boldly has attempted to bridge the gap between smartphone devices and the tablet and seems to be making a big success of it. After all, it was indeed running a big risk by launching the Galaxy Note with its gigantic pushing the envelope beyond though possible limits 5.3 inches wide touch sensitive display screen. But the buying public seems to have taken to the Samsung Galaxy Note like duck to water.

               The Samsung Galaxy Note Deals is believed to have sold a whopping two million units world wide and still is vanishing off store shelves all over the globe in no time at all. It is being speculated in the technology circles that observing the runaway success that Samsung is enjoying with the Samsung Galaxy Note, rival Apple Inc is considering producing smaller sized tablets or smartphones in place of the nine inches wide screen wielding mobile devices.

             Samsung itself is believed to have officially unveiled its second generation Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet that recently concluded Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in Spain. But that is like going to the mobile computer tablet device way. What has probably clicked for Samsung with the Galaxy Note is the right balance of having a mobile phone device that can look and perform like a tablet and still is not too unwieldy or cumbersome. And this is what the rivals including the Cupertino based technology company needs to follow and adapt to.

              Besides the totally dazzling and mesmerizing immersive touch sensitive display screen you also have the S Pen for inputting data. This feature also seem to have hit off well with the users all over. The Samsung Galaxy Note further has the dual core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex 9 processor buzzing underneath its hood. And also the Android 2.3 Gingerbread version of the operating system running it. Samsung has promised that it will upgrade the operating system to the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version at the earliest. It is very likely that we will see the update to the Android Ice Cream Sandwich happening in the second quarter of 2012 itself.

           Samsung also needs to be congratulated on the fact that it has somehow managed to squeeze in this huge hardware and software into the dimensions of 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm. And also weights only a still manageable 178 gm only. And this is very good and significant accomplishment as the users find it fitting nicely into their palms and after an initial period of difficulty soon become comfortable using the Samsung Galaxy Note.  

Invention of Glasses

            

            The Middle Ages period initiated the scientific breakthrough in Europe, when achievements in various fields of knowledge ensured certain progress; although, everyday life of people was pretty separated from science. No one can deny that it was a time, when every novelty gained more appreciation than nowadays, when every technology offered is forgotten in a couple of years and is not as surprising as it could be. One of the innovations of that epoch, which appears to be a wide-spread item today, is glasses, which emerged within development of optic science.

            One of the prominent figures, which introduced the glasses innovation in the 13th century, was Roger Bacon, who spent a whole fortune to conduct own scientific investigations. In particular, much of his attention was dedicated to optics, which has lead him to understanding of refraction and reflection in mirrors and lenses. According some legend, his life ended on a sour note because of his discovery: Roger Bacon was imprisoned due to the assumption that glasses (as well as camera ottica) were the Devil's creation.

             Transferring glasses technology from abstractive science to real practice is a merit of Leonardo da Vinci in the 15th century. His very famous work Codex Atlanticus maintains the optical researchs within the whole variety of scientific searches he made. Notably, da Vinci formulated and solved the problem of constructing the path of rays in the eye and the issues of accommodation and adaptation of the eye the camera ottica, gave the scientific explanation of the lenses, mirrors and glasses; it also runs questions of aberrations and drawings of caustic sufaces, the results of the first photometric studies, which described technology of lenses and mirrors.

 

      In Europe Italians and Spaniards were the biggest fans of the unusual invention. However, they worn glasses not to improve eyesight, but rather to emphasize own status and society position. So, it was believed that bigger glasses are the evidence of figure's bigger significance in public life. They held these huge lenses on the nose with a rope held by the holes in the sides and tied at the rear.

       In the 18th century glasses were supplemented with headbands, and in the next one Benjamin Franklin invented biofocals (lenses helping people to correct their eyesight on different distances). Modern glasses possess different qualities and opportunities. Moreover, they are also supplemented with sun glasses, firstly discovered in the 12th century and invented by people of Northern areas, where snow blindness was huge inconvenience. Visor sun glasses, clip-on sun glasses, therapeutic and work glasses are among the range of related patents, issued in the 21st century. The ideas of Roger Bacon serve as a primary basis for further inventions nowadays.

Scientists have solved the mystery of Bermuda triangle

           

        For many years people believed that any alien force is dubbed in region of scary triangle which has eaten up many ships and airplanes. People had conviction that it is some mysterious and enigmatic force present in triangular area of Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico which make planes and aircrafts vanished to fulfill its some thirst for blood or something else. But now the entire hypothesis all the suppositions have become pointless because finally scientists have solved the mystery of Bermuda triangle.
          They are of the point of view that no alien is there no mysterious force is pulling human bodies down in the water. It's a gas bubble which has kept scientists busy in discovering the e actual reason of laying our planes. Scientist think that it is the deadly methane hydrates gas bubbles that are created by underwater deposits of methane. These bubbles eat up all the ships and aircrafts.          Now the question is what happens when a gigantic methane bubble explodes on the floor of sea? Methane which normally get frozen great under great pressure and as gas gets hydrated underground the sold rocks it tend to extricated and transmute into gassy bubbles mounting geometrically as they shatter upwards.
           And if any ships get caught in mega methane gas bubble it loses all its resilience and sink into the water and people used to think that there are some aliens who eat up ships and the men inside. And if these bubbles are big enough and have density they can even pull aircrafts. When aircrafts get caught by theses bubbles their engines stops working exploding methane bubbles surrounding them and thus they swiftly land in the ocean.

           Professor Monaghan said, "It's long been known that there are pockets of methane gas, known as methane gas hydrates, beneath the ocean floor that could erupt if they're disturbed or if their internal pressure becomes too large". So the alien is none other than methane gas. It's not a story only all the researh has been done to proof this , scientist are busy experimenting all the possibilities to come up with facts.

           Monaghan and May two brilliant scientist worked on it and they applied all the theories related to fluid dynamics to model a solution. They modeled a program on the basic principles of fluid dynamics o check methane gas bubble density pressure, velocity and water force which is surrounding this bubble. They transformed 3D phenomenon in 2D display on desktop and measured all the necessary parameters. They measured how water force surrounded by gas bubble affect various sizes of ships and crafts. Also they experimented this whole experience by making artificial ships , using tanks and methane gas bubbles to check either it's true that a bubble can make ship drown into water. And their experimentation gave helpful results.
         The experiments showed that the ship dropped if it is in the middle or at the outer edges of a gas bubble. If the ship is directly over a bubble or away from the edge of the bubble it would not sink either would sail securely. And if bubble is very big and ship is positioned near or at the bubble every one inside will get die without sinking the boat.
           Methane gas bubbles are deadly scary. These alien baubles is the actually mystery which is to be solved and now scientist has solved it to so extent but still they are working on it and probably we could wait for more facts revealed. Bermuda triangle is not a mystery any more but a challenge.
