The hardware of the computer consisted of enzymes that manipulate DNA, the software was the DNA itself.
The computers consist of a small, flat monitor with a keyboard.
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.
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.
At its most fundamental level, a computer consists of a control unit, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a memory unit, and input/output (I/O) controllers.
The most frequently consulted data on the bedside computers consists of the patient's clinical values and the microbiology results in this ICU.
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.
A large portion of the discussion about computers consists of an extended dialogue between Mr. Davis and Charles Strauss, an experienced computer scientist.
The researchers show that the computer, which consists of a large neural network connected to a unique form of memory, can perform relatively complex tasks by figuring out for itself what information to hold in its memory.
The computer code consists of an extremely user-friendly graphical user interface and a very powerful numerical simulator that handles rigorous modeling of thermodynamics, activity based kinetics, rate-based mass transfer and supports all unit operations relevant for gas treating plants (absorbers, strippers, flash drums, heaters, pumps, compressors, mixers and splitters, etc.).
The computer program consists of 83 different source regions, 79 of which were addressed in SAF tables of ICRP Publication 133.
