World's biggest computing grid

The world’s largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind’s biggest data challenge from the earth’s most powerful accelerator.

Worldwide Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million gigabytes of LHC data every year.

Fifteen universities and three U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories from 11 states contribute their power to the project.  

U.S. contributions to the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid are coordinated through the Open Science Grid, a national computing infrastructure for science. The Open Science Grid not only contributes computing power for LHC data needs, but also for projects in many other scientific fields including biology, nanotechnology, medicine and climate science. 

“Particle physics projects such as the LHC have been a driving force for the development of worldwide computing grids,” said Ed Seidel, director of the National Science Foundation’s Office of Cyber infrastructure.

“When the LHC starts running at full speed, it will produce enough data to fill about six CDs per second,” said Michael Ernst, director of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Tier-1 Computing Center.

that is 14,648.4375 terabytes a year..

“Open Science Grid members have put an incredible amount of time and effort in developing a nationwide computing system that is already at work supporting America’s 1,200 LHC physicists and their colleagues from other sciences,” said Open Science Grid Executive Director Ruth Pordes from DOE’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. 

Through their distributed computing infrastructures, these physicists also help other scientific researchers increase their use of computing and storage for broader discovery.

How compact Disk Works??

CDs and DVDs are everywhere these days. Whether they are used to hold music, data or computer software, they have become the standard medium for distributing large quantities of information in a reliable package.

CD: Material  :  Most of a CD consists of an injection-molded piece of clear polycarbonate plastic.

The total amount of digital data that must be stored on a CD is:
44,100 samples/channel/second x 2 bytes/sample x 2 channels x 74 minutes x 60 seconds/minute = 783,216,000 bytes

CD: The Spiral  : A CD has a single spiral track of data, circling from the inside of the disc to the outside. The fact that the spiral track starts at the center means that the CD can be smaller than 4.8 inches (12 cm) if desired.

CD: Bumps  : You will often read about "pits" on a CD instead of bumps. They appear as pits on the aluminum side, but on the side the laser reads from, they are bumps.

The incredibly small dimensions of the bumps make the spiral track on a CD extremely long. If you could lift the data track off a CD and stretch it out into a straight line, it would be 0.5 microns wide and almost 3.5 miles (5 km) long!

CD Player Components:

The CD player has the job of finding and reading the data stored as bumps on the CD. Considering how small the bumps are, the CD player is an exceptionally precise piece of equipment. The drive consists of three fundamental components:

-  A drive motor spins the disc. This drive motor is precisely controlled to rotate between 200 and 500 rpm depending on which track is being read.

-  A laser and a lens system focus in on and read the bumps.

-  A tracking mechanism moves the laser assembly so that the laser's beam can follow the spiral track. The tracking system has to be able to move the laser at micron resolutions.


What CD Player Does: Laser Focus

The fundamental job of the CD player is to focus the laser on the track of bumps. The laser beam passes through the polycarbonate layer, reflects off the aluminum layer and hits an opto-electronic device that detects changes in light. The bumps reflect light differently than the "lands" (the rest of the aluminum layer), and the opto-electronic sensor detects that change in reflectivity. The electronics in the drive interpret the changes in reflectivity in order to read the bits that make up the bytes.

What CD Player Does: Tracking

The hardest part is keeping the laser beam centered on the data track. This centering is the job of the tracking system. The tracking system, as it plays the CD, has to continually move the laser outward. As the laser moves outward from the center of the disc,

How Microsoft surface configured?

Surface computing is the term for the use of a specialized computer GUI in which traditional GUI elements are replaced by intuitive, everyday objects. Instead of a keyboard and mouse, the user interacts directly with a touch-sensitive screen. It has been said that this more closely replicates the familiar hands-on experience of everyday object manipulation.

1)) Screen:

A diffuser turns the surface's acrylic tabletop into a large horizontal " Multi touch " screen, capable of processing multiple inputs from multiple users. The surface can also recognize objects by their shapes..

 2)) Infrared :

Surface's "machine vision" operates in the near-infrared spectrum, using an 850 nanometer wavelength LED light source aimed at the screen. When objects touch the tabletop, the light reflects back and is picked up by multiple infrared cameras with a net resolution of 1280 * 960.

3)) cpu :

Processor: Core 2 Duo processor

RAM : 2GB

Graphics card : 256MB

Wi-fi

Bluetooth

Operating system is modified version of Microsoft Vista

4)) Projector :

Microsoft’s Surface uses the same DLP light engine found in many rear-projection HDTVs. The footprint of the visible light screen, at 1024 * 768 pixels , is actually smaller than the invisible overlapping infrared projection to allow for better recognition at the edges of the screen.

Magic Mouse

Magic Mouse — with its low-profile design and seamless top shell — is so sleek and dramatically different, it brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac.

You can’t help but marvel at its smooth, buttonless appearance. Then you touch it and instantly appreciate how good it feels in your hand. But it’s when you start using Magic Mouse that everything comes together.

The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere.

Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.

laser tracking system :
It tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad .

 

Wireless

Magic Mouse connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology, so there’s no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away.

Grid computing

When we have to work with a large application with only one computer.it is very much difficult task..
To handle such application easily we have to use "GRID COMPUTING".

What it does?
It divides a large application into number of modules, and give each module to a individual computer..and operate each module separately..and at the and give output as a integration of all module..

In short Grid computing deals with the sharing of tasks over number of computers.

To apply grid we have to connect number of computers and have to make a mini web..in which all devices are connect with GRID.
these arrangement can be of three types:

Intragrids:  – Single organizations

                   – No partner integration

                    – A single cluster

Extragrids:  – Multiple organizations

                    – Partner integration

                    – Multiple clusters

Intergrids:  – Many organizations

                   – Multiple partners

                   – Many multiple clusters

Applications for Grid:

•  Bio Informatics applications
        BLAST : Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, is an algorithm for comparing primary biological
                       sequence information

        FASTA : FASTA is a DNA and protein sequence alignment software package

•  High Energy Physics Applications
        LCG (Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Computing Grid) : ALICE-A Large Ion Collider Experiment

•  Weather Modeling and Predicting Ocean Currents
        Weather Prediction

        – Storm, Rain, Surface pressure and Winds
        – Comparing data from sea, ground and air
        – Correlating with previous climate data

•  Disaster Management
        Natural Calamities

        – Flood, Earth Quake, Cyclones Requirements for Disaster Management
        – Timely dissemination of disaster information to user agencies
        – Organize logistics around automated and secure work flow and data base

world's fastest data transmission

Scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have achieved the world’s fastest data transmission at 26 terabits per second (Tbps), using a single laser, over a 50km fibre.with low energy consumption.

it's fast enough to transfer the entire Library of Congress in ten seconds.

"this is the largest line rate ever encoded onto a single light source,” said the scientists in the journal Nature Photonics.

According to ZDNet, the experiment used a single laser to create a long range of pulses, which are known as ‘frequency combs’.

These pulses were then magnified into 325 colour channels via a method called ‘inverse fast Fourier transform,’ before being sent down a 50km cable. Once it reached the other end, an optical fast Fourier transform encoded it back into data.

According to a co-author of the journal Wolfgang Freude,However, the 26 Tbps data transfer is not actually the fastest.
“Already a 100 terabits per second experiment has been demonstrated,” he said, adding that this required 370 lasers, which is highly expensive.

How to Create a folder named "CON" in Windows

you can't create a folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows.

What is the reason for this? Simple, these names represent the internal devices and hence we cannot create folders with the above names.

but it is possible to create these folder using command prompt...

If you want to create then do following.

1)  Go to command prompt

2)  now if you want to create folder in D: drive then type following command in prompt :

        md \\.\d:\con

here “con” can be replaced by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1"....

4) now if you want to delete this folder..

     rd \\.\d:\con  

The folder can only be removed from command prompt.

create bootable Pendrive to install Windows 7

Here is a small and working tutorial to install windows 7 from a bootable USB or Pendrive.
These days most of them have a USB or Pendrive.
So why don’t you try this trick.
Installing Windows 7 using a pendrive is very much faster than that from DVD/CD.
You just need to follow some small steps to do this.
You can keep this pendrive/USB drive for future installation of Windows 7.

Make sure you have a Pendrive or USB drive with a minimum of 4 GB space and you have the Windows 7 installation DVD.

1. Format the Pendrive or USB drive in NTFS format first.

2. From the start menu right click on the command prompt and select “Run as administrator“.

3. Now type the following commands (Press enter key after each command).

4. diskpart. This is to open the disk partition program.

5. Now to show the list of drives type list disk.

6. You can see disk’s listed there. Note down the disk number of your pendrive eg. Disk .

7. Now type SELECT DISK X (where X is the number you noted down for the pendrive from step 5)

8. Now type CLEAN.

9. Now type the following commands by pressing enter after each one.

10. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

11. SELECT PARTITION 1 (Assuming your pendrive/ USB drive is 1).

12. ACTIVE

13. FORMAT FS=NTFS

14. ASSIGN

15. EXIT(Now the disk partition program will exit).

Now we need to give some more commands

16. Now insert the Windows 7 Installation DVD and to your DVD drive.

17. Here i am assuming DVD drive as G and Pendrive as I.(Change it accordingly).

18. Now type G:CD BOOT

19. Now type this command BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 I: to update your USB drive with bootmgr code.

20. Finally copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pendrive. Make sure you don’t cause any       errors.

21. Plug / Insert your pendrive to your PC and restart the system.

22. Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key delete.(This may vary some times it will  be      F2 or F12. It depends on the type of your system. Any how during the start up your system will display          which  key to press to enter the Bios).

23. Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.(Set the first boot priority to USB drive.).

24. Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that pendrive.
