Northbridge Chip

Northbridge Chip

This chipset is located near the processor socket, serves to connect and control the processor to system memory and graphics systems. Usually large size compared to most other chips in the motherboard. Some motherboards adding heatsinks or cooling fans on the chip so that the chip itself is enclosed by a fan.

Southbridge Chipset

Southbridge Chipset

Part of the small size of the motherboard chipset on the northbridge functions of connecting and controlling the IDE bus, PCI, keyboard, mouse, USB and power management. Some also provide facilities southbridge chip sound card chip embedded in it.

Processor Socket

Processor Socket

Serves to place the processor socket on the motherboard. Socket shapes differ depending on the type of processor used.

Motherboards

Motherboard

The motherboard is the board which is plugged in computer components and can be interconnected. There are so many types of motherboards but the quality is determined by the motherboard chipset that is embedded in it, such as Gigabyte, Intel, SIS, NVIDIA nForce, VIA, and others.The motherboard is a resource center that regulates the work of all connected components.Also the motherboard is also arrange provision of electric power on every PC component.On the motherboard installed some components, such as the holder for both the processor and the socket-shaped slot, memory sockets, AGP slot, PCI slots, ISA slots, chipset, CMOS and other supporting components.

Processor

Processor

Processor is the brain or engine of a PC, sometimes also called the microprocessor or Central Processing Unit (CPU), which performs calculations (ALU function) and the processing system.

Computer Casing

Computer Casing

Computer Casing is place of the components that will be our raft. Casing consists of a variety of forms, among others:1. Tower Casing2. Desktop Casings3. Slim casing4. Large Server5. Rackmount
Casing tower model consists of various sizes, including mini-tower, middle tower and full tower composed. Full-tower chassis. Full-tower chassis is generally used for servers. Casing power of this model is usually placed under or beside the computer desk (standing position).
Casing Desktop PC models are usually placed on the table (sleeping position). Casing construction generally sturdy enough so that the monitor can be placed on top.
Casings are generally slim model is flexible because it can be used with bed or standing position. PC at this time many who use slim models. Casing is usually shaped like a large server filecabinet with a larger size. Rackmount computer that is placed on a special rack servers or other network device.

Plasma Monitor

Plasma Monitor

Various monitors in the market is now emerging following the principle known as the flat-matrix imaging, leaving the monitor model using rear-projection technologies are large and heavy, and began shifting CRT direct gaze (direct-view) to plasma and LCD technologies.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Monitor

LCD Monitor

LCD technology borrowed from the notebook computer makers. LCD has a relatively low level of glare. The screen is really flat using lower power (5 watts versus 100 watts for almost a regular monitor). Color quality of a flat-panel active-matrix LCD can actually exceed most of the CRT display.

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Monitor

CRT Monitor

CRT television is widely used on aircraft. CRT monitors are generally wrapped in a glass vacuum tube. This tube has three electron-gun is projecting three light electron, namely, red phosphorus, green and blue (RGB) that projected the image on the glass front of the monitor.High voltage is used to generate magnetism that controls the electron beam to produce images for display on the front of the CRT.

Monitor

monitor

Monitor is an abstract data type that can regulate the activity and resource usage by a few threads. Monitors the idea was first introduced by CAR Hoare and Per Brinch-Hansen in the early 1970s.
Monitor consists of private data with public functions that can access such data. Method-method in a monitor has been designed in such a way so that there is only one method that can work at any one time. This aims to ensure that all monitors are operating in mutual exclusion.
Monitor can be analogue as a building with three rooms: one fruit of the control room, one-room wait-entry, single-room-in waiting. When a thread enters the monitor, he entered the room-wait-go (enter). When his turn came, thread into the control room (acquire), here thread to finish the job with a shared resource in the control room (Owning). If the task thread is not finished but the allotted time has run out for him or thread is waiting for another thread finish the job, thread to release control of the monitors (release) and transferred to room-in-waiting (waiting queue).When his turn came again, thread into the control room again (acquire). If the job is finished, he stepped out of the monitor (release and exit).

Computer Definitions

Computer

A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed. Complex computers also include the means for storing data (including the program, which is also a form of data) for some necessary duration. A program may be invariable and built into the computer (and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an administrator or user). Today's computers have both kinds of programming.
Most histories of the modern computer begin with the Analytical Engine envisioned by Charles Babbage following the mathematical ideas of George Boole, the mathematician who first stated the principles of logic inherent in today's digital computer. Babbage's assistant and collaborator, Ada Lovelace, is said to have introduced the ideas of program loops and subroutines and is sometimes considered the first programmer. Apart from mechanical calculators, the first really useable computers began with the vacuum tube, accelerated with the invention of the transistor, which then became embedded in large numbers in integrated circuits, ultimately making possible the relatively low-cost personal computer.

Modern computers inherently follow the ideas of the stored program laid out by John von Neumann in 1945. Essentially, the program is read by the computer one instruction at a time, an operation is performed, and the computer then reads in the next instruction, and so on. Recently, computers and programs have been devised that allow multiple programs (and computers) to work on the same problem at the same time in parallel. With the advent of the Internet and higher bandwidth data transmission, programs and data that are part of the same overall project can be distributed over a network and embody the Sun Microsystems slogan: "The network is the computer."
