Topic: Workstation



  
 Computer workstation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A computer workstation, often colloquially referred to as workstation, is a high-end general-purpose microcomputer designed to be used by one person at a time and which offers higher performance than normally found in a personal computer, especially with respect to graphics, processing power and the ability to carry out several tasks at the same time.
However, the line between workstation and PC is increasingly becoming blurred as trends toward consolidation and cost-cutting have caused workstation manufacturers to use "off the shelf" PC components and graphics solutions as opposed to proprietary in-house developed technology.
Higher-end workstations may use more sophisicated CPUs such as Intel Itanium 2, AMD Opteron, IBM POWER or Sun SPARC and run on a variant of UNIX delievering a truly reliable workhorse for computing-intensive tasks.

 What is workstation? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Like personal computers, most workstations are single-user computers.
In terms of computing power, workstations lie between personal computers and minicomputers, although the line is fuzzy on both ends.
It could be a workstation or a personal computer.

 A Take on the Workstation Market Today - OSNews.com
Medicals are using workstations for vizualising data they recieve from computer tomograph.
Software developers are using workstations, if they write software for servers they will find the same environement, so their programs are garanted to run on server, like they do on the workstation.
Workstations were the first computers which were capable of processing 3D, which was not only interesting for technical purposes, but also fascinating for artists like Timothy Leary.

 Securing Desktop Workstations
Securing desktop workstations should be a significant part of your network and information-security strategy because of the sensitive information often stored on workstations and their connection to the rest of the networked world.
Although this module focuses on securing desktop workstations, many of the practices are also applicable to securing network servers or other computers on your network.
To make it easier to include those practices in other modules, we use the word "computer" broadly; it can mean workstations, servers, or other computers.

 Tech Connections Computer Workstations
A self-contained workstation and chair with headrest, attached as one unit that moves simultaneously to a semi reclining position of 20 degrees or forward tilt of 10 degrees.
Design of computer workstations is slowly becoming more innovative, like the technology that sits on top of it.
For individuals with orthopedic back conditions, there are a few companies that make workstations that recline to varying degrees, offering an option to computing from an office chair.

 Workstations
Today, most workstations in the market are based on the Intel PIII class of processors.
Workstations are no longer the domain of high-end and costly RISC processors running some variant of Unix.
The third and the most powerful category of computers are workstations.

 Workstations
Workstation is "all-in-one" system that combines industrial computer, LCD-monitor, a keyboard and a mouse in single chassis.
Extraordinary performance and efficiency of these workstations make them an ideal tool for using them as simple portable computers or complex mobile server systems.
Nowadays all the PC functions can be placed on a small size board - a Single Board Computer.

 HP passes Sun in workstations CNET News.com
The study sheds additional light on a trend that has been growing all year, namely that the sales of workstations based on the Windows NT operating system are growing rapidly while sales of Unix desktops are declining.
Because of price cuts in memory and Intel processors, nearly all of these characteristics can be found on machines classified as desktop computers, some of which are selling for less than $3,000.
A PC workstation must use Windows NT, contain at least 32MB of memory, a hard drive of 4GB or more, use an advanced graphics subsystem, and employ a relatively advanced

 How Computers Work [encyclopedia]
Almost all personal computers, workstations, minicomputers, and mainframes are based on the von Neumann design principle of stored programs.
John Von Neumann (1945) proposed that the program to control the computer should be stored in the memory of the computer.
The memory stores programs and the initial, intermediate, and final computational data.

 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Network of Workstations
A NOW or Network of Workstations is a computer network which connects several computer workstations together, and by utilising special software it allows to use the network as a cluster.
April 30 1997 was a historical day for distributed computing: Berkeley achieved 10 gigaflops on the LINPACK benchmark, making NOW, its new distributed supercomputer, one of the 200 fastest machines in the world at that time.
This is considered as the birth of the network of workstations concept.
