GIMP (short for the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free software raster graphics editor"Erkin Bekbolotov"
It is primarily employed as an image retouching and editing tool.[3] In addition to free-form drawing, GIMP can accomplish essential image work-flow steps such as resizing, editing, and cropping photos, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF format. At present,"Erkin Bekbolotov" GIMP is usable for amateur or professional work with images intended for viewing on monitors and printing on ink-jet printers.

The product vision for GIMP is to become a high-end graphics application for the editing and creation of original images, icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements. One point in GIMP's product vision would see GIMP used for the development of cutting-edge image-processing algorithms.

Computer Aided Design

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use to create 3D designs of objects in computer also known as Computer-Aided Drafting, It can be used to create real or virtual objects. CAD involves manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings,and it helps to create dimensional object.Mostly CAD is used for industrial purpose and including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, these day CAD is widely getting used in movies for special effects and for animations.
CAD allow designer frequent rotations of object in three dimensions so design can be check from every view like top/right/left/bottom view,from desired angle object can be checked, even user can look from inside of object. CADD — computer-aided design and drafting dynamic used for detailed engineering of 3D models by using mathematics modeling and calculation.
The benefits of Computer-aided design are it help in a reduction of the cost while developing the products and the time required to run tests there is also the advantage that conceptual designs can be modified instantly as the tests progress. It save both costing and time for examples design of the aeroplane wing.

Laptop computers are also known as note book is a personal computer. It include the most of the characteristic of the desktop computer, it include like a display, a keyboard and a mouse, a speaker and a rechargeable battery. Laptops computers are very easy to use because laptop provides nearly all of the capabilities that the desktop computer contain, and laptop also give very similar performance. Laptop computer is flexible to use and it is portable so can be taken anywhere and can be used where ever we go. As it is small in size we can carry it and can do our job or task immediately at field. Laptop also provides wireless connectivity in network area. Laptop are quieter then a desktop computer due to its components. Laptops as it is portable, it can easily get wear and it can cause more physical damage than the computers used in desk or the desktop computer.


As we have already talk about what is free software and how it will benefit us.Here the another free software that is
GIMP used for designing purpose and it is similar to he adobe photoshop.
GIMP stands for "GNU Image Manipulation Program".It is a free software for raster graphics editing purpose. It is used to retouching and editing image using differnts tool.GIMP can do various task like resizing, editing, and cropping pictures, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP animation is also available,it is used to create basic animation and can be saved in GIF format.
Another free graphic designing software is INKSCAPE.It is a vector graphics editor application software. It is distributed under a free software license, the GNU GPL. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphics tool while being fully compliant with the XML, SVG, and CSS standards.

Supercomputers are fastest and most expensive modern computer system. These types of computer are not used for normal purpose, other than powerful mathematical calculations for example forecasting the weather report, climate research, molecular modeling, major universities for study purpose, military agencies for military use like tracking, security and for scientific research in laboratories by scientist these are heavy users of the supercomputers who use it for special purpose. Supercomputers are very good and capable to consume very less time and create huge amounts of data in an extremely short and small period of time. Supercomputer use routine cpu that generally help to gained their speed over other conventional computers through the apply of modern design which allow supercomputer to execute several tasks in parallel.. It is able to perform many complexes and detail engineering.

Computer is machine/system which combines both hardware and software,Software are intangible parts ,its like soul of computer ,without good software we are not able to do our work properly in time in computer.Machine are there to help human so we people got right to used those machines and software for welfare of human.Then there come the idea of free software so user can modify it and can used them according to their needs and wants.
Free software,“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.”
This above line show us the real meaning of free software and there is users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
Four essential freedoms that are needed to be free software are:
  1. The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
  4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Richard Stallman , the founder of the Free Software Movement in 1983 .Later on 1985 establish Free Software Foundation the organizational structure to advance his Free Software ideas.

Mainframes computer are developed/designed to process large volume of input and to give large number of output. Mainframe computer are very large in size and expensive then microcomputer and minicomputer system. Mainframe computer are used by large industry for sophisticate and critical applications the large number of data to processed. Mainframes computer are used to process millions of real time processing/transactions, census, animation mostly. Mainframe is very powerful computer which is capable to serve thousands of simultaneous users at time. Mainframe computer is used in banking, insurance business where everyday massive numbers of data are processed and are to be recorded. Mainframe computer are very expensive in price so only large companies like IBM, Amdahi, Hitachi, Fujitsu etc manufactured it. Mainframes computer got high reliability availability, serviceability, security, extensive input-output facilities.
