A rooster is a male chicken. He is well known crowing at the rising sun.

A rooter is something that roots, whether an animal like a pig, or a tool like a roto-rooter. The word 'rooter' can mean an enthusiastic devotee of sports.

A rotor is something that rotates. In a car, rotors are metal plates that turn with the wheels and provide surfaces for the brake disc pads to clamp onto. The pads mount onto the calipers and are on each side of the rotors. As the brakes are applied, the disc pads press into the rotors and provide friction for stopping.

If you actually mean a router, that is a way to create or split a computer network to allow access by multiple computers. One of the most common ways is by address translation. The router can take a single internet address and convert it to a series of local addresses. That way, the computers each have a unique address, even though the router connects to the Internet through a single address.

What is a wireless rooter?

A wireless router, is a device that not only performs the functions of a router but also acts as a wireless access point. Wireless clients connect to the wireless router to access a common network, the router also often provides access to the internet.


What was the first type of electronic computer?

ENIAC was a modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. Twenty of these modules were accumulators, which could not only add and subtract but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory. Numbers were passed between these units across a number of general-purpose buses, or trays, as they were called. In order to achieve its high speed, the panels had to send and receive numbers, compute, save the answer, and trigger the next operation-all without any moving parts. Key to its versatility was the ability to branch; it could trigger different operations that depended on the sign of a computed result.Besides its speed, the most remarkable thing about ENIAC was its size and complexity. ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000capacitors and around 5 million hand-soldered joints. It weighed more than 30 short tons (27 t), was roughly 8 by 3 by 100 feet (2.4 m × 0.9 m × 30 m), took up 1800 square feet (167 m2), and consumed 150 kW of power.[11][12] This led to the rumor that whenever the computer was switched on, lights in Philadelphia dimmed.[13] Input was possible from an IBM card reader, and an IBM card punch was used for output. These cards could be used to produce printed output offline using an IBM accounting machine, such as the IBM 405.ENIAC used ten-position ring counters to store digits; each digit used 36 vacuum tubes, 10 of which were the dual triodes making up the flip-flops of the ring counter. Arithmetic was performed by "counting" pulses with the ring counters and generating carry pulses if the counter "wrapped around", the idea being to emulate in electronics the operation of the digit wheels of a mechanicaladding machine. ENIAC had twenty ten-digit signed accumulators which used ten's complement representation and could perform 5,000 simple addition or subtraction operations between any of them and a source (e.g., another accumulator, or a constant transmitter) every second. It was possible to connect several accumulators to run simultaneously, so the peak speed of operation was potentially much higher due to parallel operation.It was possible to wire the carry of one accumulator into another accumulator to perform double precision arithmetic, but the accumulator carry circuit timing prevented the wiring of three or more for even higher precision. ENIAC used four of the accumulators, controlled by a special Multiplier unit, to perform up to 385 multiplication operations per second. Five of the accumulators were controlled by a special Divider/Square-Rooter unit to perform up to forty division operations per second or three square root operations per second.The other nine units in ENIAC were the Initiating Unit(which started and stopped the machine), the Cycling Unit(used for synchronizing the other units), the Master Programmer (which controlled "loop" sequencing), the Reader (which controlled an IBM punched card reader), the Printer (which controlled an IBM punched card punch), the Constant Transmitter, and three Function Tables.[clarification needed]Cpl. Irwin Goldstein (foreground) sets the switches on one of ENIAC's function tables at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering. (U.S. Army photo) This photo has been artificially darkened, obscuring details such as the women who were present and the IBM equipment in use.[14]The references by Rojas and Hashagen (or Wilkes)[15] give more details about the times for operations, which differ somewhat from those stated above. The basic machine cycle was 200microseconds (20 cycles of the 100 kHz clock in the cycling unit), or 5,000 cycles per second for operations on the 10-digit numbers. In one of these cycles, ENIAC could write a number to a register, read a number from a register, or add/subtract two numbers. A multiplication of a 10-digit number by a d-digit number (for d up to 10) took d+4 cycles, so a 10- by 10-digit multiplication took 14 cycles, or 2800 microseconds-a rate of 357 per second. If one of the numbers had fewer than 10 digits, the operation was faster. Division and square roots took 13(d+1) cycles, where d is the number of digits in the result (quotient or square root). So a division or square root took up to 143 cycles, or 28,600 microseconds-a rate of 35 per second. (Wilkes 1956:20[15] states that a division with a 10 digit quotient required 6 milliseconds.) If the result had fewer than ten digits, it was obtained faster.
