Cloud Computing

 


Cloud computing

  • On demand delivery of IT resources through the Internet with payment depending on the use of the service is known as cloud computing.
  • The term cloud refers to a network or the Internet.
  • It gives a solution for infrastructure at low cost.
  • It accesses the multiple server-based computer resources through a network.
  • Cloud user accesses the server resources using the computer, smart phones, notebook, tablets or other devices.
  • Cloud server maintains all the processing and storage.


Features of Cloud Computing

 High scalability - It means on demand provisioning of resources on a large scale without requiring human interaction with each service provider

High availability and reliability - Availability of servers is more reliable and high because it minimizes the chances of infrastructure failure.

Multi-sharing - Multiple user and applications work more efficiently with less cost by sharing common infrastructure using cloud computing.

Maintenance - Maintenance of cloud computing applications is  easier as they are not required to be install on each computer and can also be accessed from various places, ultimately reducing the cost.

Low cost - It is cost effective because the company no more needs to set its own infrastructure. It pays according to resources it has consumed

Services in pay-per-use mode - APIs(Application Programming Interfaces) are provided to the users for accessing the services on the cloud and pay according to use of the service.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

It does not require a high powered computer to run cloud because applications run on cloud not on desktop PC or laptop.

Hardware and software maintenance cost is reduced using the cloud.

Fast processing of applications as cloud server's capacity of execution is very high.

A huge amount of storage capacity is provided by cloud.


 Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Without an Internet connection cloud computing is impossible because, to access any application or document a constant internet connection is a must.

It also requires high speed internet connection because web based apps need a lot of bandwidth to download (large document).

Security of data on the cloud can be questionable.

Types of Addressing modes

  Implied / Implicit Addressing Mode Stack Addressing Mode Immediate Addressing Mode Direct Addressing Mode Indirect Addressing Mode Register Direct Addressing Mode Register Indirect Addressing Mode Relative Addressing Mode Indexed Addressing Mode Base Register Addressing Mode Auto-Increment Addressing Mode Auto-Decrement Addressing Mode 1. Implied Addressing Mode-   In this addressing mode, The definition of the instruction itself specify the operands implicitly. It is also called as  implicit addressing mode .   Examples-   The instruction “Complement Accumulator” is an implied mode instruction. In a stack organized computer, Zero Address Instructions are implied mode instructions. (since operands are always implied to be present on the top of the stack)   2. Stack Addressing Mode-   In this addressing mode, The operand is contained at the top of the stack.   Example-   ADD This instruction simply pops out two symbols contained at the top of the stack. The addition of those two opera

Java - Swing

  Swing  is a Java Foundation Classes JFC] library and an extension of the Abstract Window Toolkit [AWT]. Swing offers much-improved functionality over AWT, new components, expanded components features, excellent event handling with drag and drop support. Introduction of Java Swing Swing has about four times the number of User Interface [U1] components as AWT and is part of the standard Java distribution. By today’s application GUI requirements, AWT is a limited implementation, not quite capable of providing the components required for developing complex GUI’s required in modern commercial applications. The AWT component set has quite a few bugs and really does take up a lot of system resources when compared to equivalent Swing resources. Netscape introduced its Internet Foundation Classes [IFC] library for use with Java. Its Classes became very popular with programmers creating GUI’s for commercial applications. Swing is a Set Of API ( API- Set Of Classes and Interfaces ) Swing is Pro
