In addition to the mouse and the accompanying chord keyboard, Doug invented computer time sharing, network computing, graphical computing, the graphical user interface and (with apologies to Ted Nelson) hypertext links.
He says, "I don't think people need TV and computer games," and votes for network computing.
Even though, these parallel computing architectures are still challenged by the complexity of credit computational tasks, mainly in social network computing.
Yet by far the greatest convert to the new religion has been Sun Microsystems long the stalwart of network computing with the mantra, "The Network is the Computer".
While our testings are conducted on homogeneous parallel computers, the proposed methodology applies to heterogeneous and network computing as well.
Thus, standalone computer systems with multiple processing cores are preferable to network computing systems.
An unexpected lift to IBM is that analysts say the hot area of network computing is giving new life to IBM's aging mainframe computers.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) contains elements of what we used to call thin client computing or network computing, along with the flexibility to deploy virtualized applications to desktop computers so they continue to work when not connected to the network.
