Understanding Supercomputing by Scientifi Scientific American
A typical handheld computing device today has more computing power than a 1960s computer that would have filled an entire room. In today's world, computing size equals speed: the smaller the faster. With computing speed nearly doubling every 18 months, today's computing power is more than 100 million times that of a computer in 1970. What does the future hold for computers and their ever-growing power? In this book you'll discover what constitutes a "supercomputer", how the super-computers of today function, how you can make your own computer into a super machine - it's a matter of networking - and what tomorrow hold in store for computer usage in terms of hardware, software and everyday applications.
Candace Bushnell is the creator of SEX AND THE CITY and has been described by the EVENING STANDARD as a 'genius'. The OBSERVER compared her to Nancy Mitford and the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH to 'Jane Austen with a Martini.'
