With this in mind, the dynamics of nucleic acid hairpin formation and disruption have been studied using a novel computational tool: large-scale, parallel, atomistic molecular dynamics simulation employing an inhomogeneous distributed computer consisting of more than 40,000 processors.
The main memory of a modern computer consists of a number of memory chips, each of which might hold many megabytes (millions of bytes), and still further addressing circuitry selects the appropriate chip for each address.
Using this approach, a two-qubit quantum computer, in liquid form, was built in 1997.A liquid-NMR quantum computer consists of many trillions of copies of a particular molecule.
A typical electronic analog computer consists of numerous types of amplifiers, which can be connected so as to build up a mathematical expression, sometimes of great complexity and with a multitude of variables.
While the "hardware" of a computer consists of its physical machinery, its operations seem better understood in terms of its "software", the programmed functional organisation which floats above the details of transistors and switches.
A perceptual computer consists of three parts: encoder (using interval approach (IA)), linguistic weighted average (LWA) engine, and decoder (Mendel 200120022007).
We measured the processing time when one humming file is matched with 48 MIDI data on a desktop computer consisting of Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, and Windows XP OS.
A BSP/CGM computer consists of a set of (p) processors (P_1, ldots, P_p) with (O(N/p)) local memory per processor and each processor is connected by a router that can send/receive messages in a point-to-point fashion.
Parameter optimisation was implemented by converting numerical routines initially written in MATLAB into C++ and running the code on a task farm computer consisting of 17 × 2.0 GHz 2-way IBM Opteron nodes.
The earliest nonvolatile memory for computers consisted of tiny wire-threaded ferrite torroids; their two stable states of remanence were able to represent the "1" and "0" of binary logic.
