Whois & Analysis for pugetsystems.com

Computational science (also scientific computing or scientific computation (SC)) is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems.

Computational science fuses three distinct elements:

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for regular use at a single location on or near a desk or table due to its size and power requirements.

The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard (a printed circuit board with a microprocessor as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, bus, and other electronic components), disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives, optical disc drives, and in early models a floppy disk drive); a keyboard and mouse for input; and a computer monitor, and, often, a printer for output.

The case may be oriented horizontally or vertically and placed either underneath, beside, or on top of a desk.

A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically.

The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, called a program, make computers very applicable to a wide range of tasks.

Such computers are used as control systems for a very wide variety of industrial and consumer devices.

This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, factory devices such as industrial robots and computer assisted design, but also in general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones.

The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of other computers.

A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of business activity enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.

It can be depicted as a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person or group, an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms.

A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications.

Intended primarily to be used by one person at a time, they are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user operating systems.

The term workstation has also been used loosely to refer to everything from a mainframe computer terminal to a PC connected to a network, but the most common form refers to the group of hardware offered by several current and defunct companies such as Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics, Apollo Computer, DEC, HP, NeXT and IBM which opened the door for the 3D graphics animation revolution of the late 1990s.
