A. Computing is an action you are doing to find solution out of given inputs. It need not necessarily be done using computers. You can do computing in your mind, more powerful than computers. Computer science completely deals with computer hardware and software.

How much computing power did NASA have when they put a man on the moon?
Q. I've heard that there is more computing power in the average $600 laptop than all of NASA had when they put a man on the moon. Is that true?
Asked by A Baby Ate My Dingo - Mon Mar 10 09:21:20 2008 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments
A. On the spacecraft themselves, very little -- probably less computing capability than your average pocket calculator of today. In the late 1960s, transitors were new, and incredibly large compared to what you find today, and magnetic memory was -- quite literally -- little ring-shaped magnets on wires! In fact, the microchip, which enables our pocket calculators, cell phones, PDAs, and home PCs, wasn't even patented until 1971! But they did have computers back in the '60s -- they just occupied entire buildings. And they also had lots of very smart people with sliderules, and pencil and paper, doing their math very rapidly. And the small computers they had on the spacecraft of the time did very limited tasks, and humans had to do the… [cont.]

Actually, it has not even really started at this point, so it will not take much for it to grow. Right now, quantum computing is a research field that is being pursued by academic researchers at universities and government labs. There really is not a much going on in the industry sector because the technology is too new and has no well defined pay off in the next several decades.

A. Cloud computing works fairly well in practice, and it is very feasible. It isn't really a new idea - grid computing is the older term for something very similar or identical to cloud computing. Here's a good example of an introductory article for cloud computing: In a simple way? If you buy access to computing resources 'in the cloud', virtual machines are created that you get access to as if they were physical machines, in which you do your computing. Basically. Of course, data lock-in is a major factor in cloud computing, as is the transfer of honking big data sets.

A. Most of the exam is fine but a few hard questions which I have never seen anything like before such as 20e and 23ei. I'm still confident for an A; I got 57 out of 60 in my coursework so I can lose up to about 57 marks and still get an A. The log question was 3 although you don't have to use logs if you remember that 2^24 is 16777216. The rounding to two decimal places was not that hard actually; it depends what language you use. Here is how simple it is is Visual Basic: Percent = Round(Percent, 2) For parameter passing if you have a variable which requires to be altered within a module you pass by reference, and if it does not require to be altered within a module you pass by value.

Of course, you can build or buy a limited purpose computer that isn't much more difficult to use than a TV. A TIVO is a linux computer that is designed to do a limited number of things very well. For that matter, modern (digital) TVs have the equivalent to a computer built into them. It's just designed so that it can preform a limited number of functions so that the user never sees the complexity. As the guy said in the Wizard of Oz said, "Don't look behind the curtain!"
