How many gigabytes are in a teraflop?
While gigabytes are a measure of how much storage space is available on a computer, a teraflop measure how quickly the computer is capable of operating. A teraflop is a measure of how many multiplications can be executed within one second.
What type of computer can process trillions of calculations per second?
Either the Human brain or a super computer.
Can a prisoner be executed a second time if survives the first time?
If the prisoner survives the first execution he will obtain the right of choosing the way of execution for the second time. Only if the second time fails, he cannot be executed for the third time. Instead, the executioner will be executed by the prisoner.
Why is it better to practice installing a second hard disk by using a VM than by using a physical computer?
It allows you to 'install' it without physically connecting it to ta computer (and possibly damaging the device or the computer in the process).
What was the speed of 1st computer?
here are some answers:ABC, 30 binary fixed point additions/subtractions per secondHarvard Mark I, 3 decimal fixed point addition/subtractions per secondZuse Z3, 1 binary floating point addition in 0.8 secondsENIAC, 5000 decimal fixed point additions/subtractions in each of 20 accumulators per second
How long does it take for a computer to process to process data?
Different computer run at different speeds. If you use a computer it can only work as fast as it can with the available software. A well written software package will run as fast as the computer can allow the program to run. Modern computers run at thousands of times a second.
What year Charles second executed?
Charles II, wasn't executed, it was his father Charles the First who was executed by a Calvinist controlled Parliament for refusing to abandon the Anglican Catholic faith.. 30, January,1649.
What the supercomputer could perform 5000 additions or subtractions per second?
5,000 calculations per second is glacially slow for a supercomputer. I do not believe anyone ever built a supercomputer that was that slow. The first viable supercomputer was the Cray-1, built in 1976. The Cray-1 was able to perform about 136 Mega-FLOPS (136,000). Today's supercomputers perform more than 5 Trillion (5,000,000,000,000) floating point operations per second (FLOPS).The first computer deliberately designed to be "significantly faster" than the fastest computer of the time, the IBM NORC is occasionally called the "first supercomputer" (although it doesn't meet all the requirements usually set for qualification) could perform 66,667 additions or subtractions per second (but this was a unique one of a kind computer). This is more than 13 times faster than the speed you are asking about.Even the first computer generally identified as a "supercomputer" the UNIVAC LARC could perform 250,000 additions or subtractions per second (however it was far from viable as only two of these machines were built, UNIVAC spent more building them than they were payed, and it was already completely obsolete the day the first one was finished). This is 50 times faster than the speed you are asking about.All later supercomputers (viable or not) were faster than the LARC.You might be thinking of ENIAC, which did 5000 additions or subtractions per second per accumulator but had 20 accumulators and sometimes operated 2 or more accumulators at the same time. But NOBODY ever considered ENIAC a supercomputer.
In computing what is the purpose of a context switch?
Context switching allows for a computer to multitask. It can suspend one process in order to switch over and run another process. The first process can be brought back up by suspending the second one.
How fast was the ENIAC?
Each Accumulator could do 5000 additions or subtractions per second and there were 20 Accumulators that could potentially all run simultaneously if the problem could be setup with enough parallelism (which was difficult to do and thus rare, even when it could be done it was impossible to sustain for long).The theoretical ideal case speed (with full parallelism) was 5000 * 20 = 100,000 additions or subtractions per second.
Who many instruction is processed by first generation computer?
It varied, most executed a few thousand instructions per second to a few tens of thousands of instructions per second. By the end of the first generation, high end machines like the IBM 709 and UNIVAC 1105 could do a few hundred thousand instructions per second.
