After the release of the Apple Lisa computer in January 1983, Apple invested considerable effort in the development of a local area networking ( LAN ) system for the machines.

Wireless broadband is technology that provides high-speed wireless Internet access or computer networking access over a wide area.

Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer science, information technology or computer engineering, since it relies upon the theoretical and practical application of these disciplines.

The computer industry is made up of all of the businesses involved in developing computer software, designing computer hardware and computer networking infrastructures, the manufacture of computer components and the provision of information technology services including System Administration and Maintenance.

DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks ( LANs ).

* Reliability ( computer networking )

This also applies to data transmission quantities over telecommunication circuits, as the telecommunications and computer networking industries have always used the SI prefixes with their standards-based meaning.

* Ethernet hub, computer networking device

* Head-of-line blocking, a performance-limiting phenomenon in computer networking

Internetworking ( a combination of the words inter (" between ") and networking ; it is not internet-working or international-network ) is the practice of connecting a computer network with other networks through the use of gateways that provide a common method of routing information packets between the networks.

Additionally, both sender and receiver are constrained linguistically by the properties of the internet software, computer hardware and networking hardware linking them.

In March 1982, the US Department of Defense declared TCP / IP as the standard for all military computer networking.

In computer networking, use of NAT ( Network Address Translation ) ( RFC 1918 ) or PAT ( Port Address Translation ) to cope with the shortage of IPv4 addresses is an example of a kludge.

During the same period, Unix computer workstations from vendors such as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, Intergraph, NeXT and Apollo were using TCP / IP based networking.

Despite being modest in number ( perhaps 7, 000 units total as of 1988 ), Lisp machines commercially pioneered many now-commonplace technologies – including effective garbage collection, laser printing, windowing systems, computer mice, high-resolution bit-mapped graphics, computer graphic rendering, and networking innovations like CHAOSNet.

These companies introduced the concept of directory services to information technology and computer networking, their input culminating in the comprehensive X. 500 specification, a suite of protocols produced by the International Telecommunication Union ( ITU ) in the 1980s.

In addition to developing the predecessors to modern computing and networking technologies, students, staff, and faculty members at Project MAC, the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and the Tech Model Railroad Club wrote some of the earliest interactive computer video games like Spacewar!

The game's demo file included information needed for computer networking ; however, to prevent cheating, id warned of legal action for dissemination of the file format.

A virtual printer is a piece of computer software whose user interface and API resembles that of a printer driver, but which is not connected with a physical computer printer.

For 3D animations, objects ( models ) are built on the computer monitor ( modeled ) and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton.

DARPA also funded the development of the Douglas Engelbart's NLS computer system and The Mother of All Demos ; and the Aspen Movie Map, which was probably the first hypermedia system and an important precursor of virtual reality.

They were particularly interested in virtual reality ( particularly the BattleTech Centers / Virtual World ) but also developed desktop computer games.

, GIMPS has a sustained throughput of approximately 86. 1 teraflops, theoretically earning the GIMPS virtual computer a place among the TOP500 most powerful known computer systems in the world.

* In computer science, lambda is the time window over which a process is observed for determining the working memory set for a digital computer's virtual memory management.

It was set in a ' virtual ' computer-generated world created by young computer game designers, and starred Jack Ryder ( from EastEnders ) as Titus, with Terry Jones ( Monty Python's Flying Circus ) narrating.

A graphical MUD is a MUD that uses computer graphics to represent parts of the virtual world and its visitors.

The monolithic differs from other operating system architectures ( such as the microkernel architecture ) in that it defines alone a high-level virtual interface over computer hardware, with a set of primitives or system calls to implement all operating system services such as process management, concurrency, and memory management itself and one or more device drivers as modules. Structure of monolithic kernel, microkernel and hybrid kernel-based operating systems

As punishment for his theft, Case's central nervous system was damaged with a mycotoxin, leaving him unable to use his brain-computer interface to access the global computer network in cyberspace, a virtual reality dataspace called the " Matrix ".

* Page ( computer memory ), a block of virtual memory

* Permanent virtual circuit, a term used in telecommunications and computer networks

* Persistent world, in virtual reality and computer games

In computer programming, a p-code machine, or portable code machine is a virtual machine designed to execute p-code ( the assembly language of a hypothetical CPU ).

In computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects.

Currently, electronic dye marking is possible if wafer test data is logged into a central computer database and chips are " binned " ( i. e. sorted into virtual bins ) according to predetermined test limits.

A sysop (; an abbreviation of system operator ) is an administrator of a multi-user computer system, such as a bulletin board system ( BBS ) or an online service virtual community.

SANS offers computer and internet security courses in a variety of formats including a virtual classroom ( SANS vLive ), online training and assessments ( SANS OnDemand ) and live training via Community SANS, a Local Mentor Program, and the original Conference format.

Tools and machines need not be material ; virtual technology, such as computer software and business methods, fall under this definition of technology.

The Duderstadt Center also contains multiple computer labs, video editing studios, electronic music studios, an audio studio, a video studio, multimedia workspaces, and a 3D virtual reality room.

Likewise both systems allow the virtual machine to be used either as the complete operating system of the target computer or to run in a " box " under another operating system.

A virtual machine ( VM ) is a software implementation of a machine ( i. e. a computer ) that executes programs like a physical machine.

The desire to run multiple operating systems was the original motivation for virtual machines, as it allowed time-sharing a single computer between several single-tasking Operation Systems.
