The Mightiest Computers on Earth

Over the decades, we have evolved, not just as human beings, but also in terms of technology. A simple smart-phone today can do more that what the best personal computer could have done ten or fifteen years ago. And when this thought comes into our minds, we can't help but think "If such a small system can do so much, what are we actually capable of doing with supercomputers?" So let's look into some of the fastest computers on this planet today, May 2017. The Computers are ranked based on their Floating point Operations Per Second (FLOPS), or in layman terms, calculations per second. However, at this point a supercomputer is capable of certain Quadrillion calculations per second, thus we use Peta FLOPS. The speed pf these systems were calculated using the LINPACK benchmarks . 10.

How do we affect the Earth's magnetic field...?

#006 We all like good directions in life. It hurts when we come to know that someone has shown us a wrong direction. That can really make us angry. But wait! What if I tell you that we ourselves are tending to show the wrong direction to us!? Well, we tend to but, we cannot do anything for such a matter. Doesn't matter what we can do of it. The biggest question is, how do we do such an act? Well, you think of it by the time I explain Earth's magnetic field. Earth's Magnetic field The core of Earth is formed of molten Iron, Nickel and traces of Cobalt and other few metals. In molten state, the metals get ionized or the outermost electrons get excited out of bounds of the metal atoms. Now, imagine these electrons and ions as free charges. Due to the rotation of Earth about it's axis causes even these charges to revolve around their axis. And as per Ampere's and Oesterd's laws, moving charges cause magnetic field in the direction of their axis. They work on th...

Switching to Linux : Shortcomings of Windows OS

Hello there! Many of us have been using the Windows OS (considering it's many versions), for a very long time. For some regions on the planet (especially where this post was written), Windows is the stereotypical OS for a computer. However, today we're going to see something which has been known to be the OS of servers and supercomputers, and can also be used in a PC like yours, Linux! To be honest, I've been using windows for a very long time myself, and it is no doubt, a great OS. But there are many places where Windows sucks (bad)! On this post, I shall describe why I chose Linux over Windows, and how you, a Windows user, can move to Linux easily! First, let's discuss the 7 reasons why I gave up Windows:- 1. Paying for almost everything... Even the office suite! Windows is a proprietary software and is not freely available. You must have a product key (purchased) to run windows on any computer. Linux distros, on the other hand, are free to downlo...
