A computer or computer program that manages access to a

hardware
input device

centralized resource or service in a network

the machines, wiring, and other physical components of a
computer or other electronic system.
an input device is a peripheral used to provide data and control
signals to an information processing system such as a

output

computer or other information appliance

An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment

device

used to communicate the results of data processing carried out

by an information processing system (such as a computer)
which converts the electronically generated information into

storage

human-readable form.

The Internet is a global network connecting millions of
computers. More than 190 countries are linked into exchanges

green

of data, news and opinions

Green computing is the use of computers and related resources

computing

in an environmentally responsible manner. This involves the

implementation of energy-efficient central processing units
(CPUs), servers and peripherals as well as proper disposal of

software

electronic waste
Software means computer instructions or data. Anything that
can be stored electronically is software, in contrast to storage

network

devices and display devices which are called hardware.

A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked

together. There are many types of computer networks,
supercomput

including the following: local-area networks

A supercomputer is a computer that performs at or near the

er

currently highest operational rate for computers. A

supercomputer is typically used for scientific and engineering
applications that must handle very large databases or do a

embedded

great amount of computation

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated

computer

function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often

with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of
a complete device often including hardware and mechanical
parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use
today.
