LO 4: Explain the recent development of hardware and
software technologies
Microprocessor is a battle of developing newest technologies in computer
hardware. A microprocessor, sometimes called a logic chip, is a computer
processor on a microchip. The microprocessor contains all, or most of, the
central processing unit (CPU) functions and is the “engine” that goes into
motion when we turn our computers on. Microprocessors also control the logic of almost
all digital devices, from clock radios to fuel-injection systems
for automobiles. Microprocessors contain both
combinational logic and sequential digital logic. Microprocessors operate on numbers and symbols
represented in the binary numeral
system
Docker is
a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run
applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an
application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other
dependencies, and ship it all out as one package. The developer can rest
assured that the application will run on any other Linux machine regardless of
any customized settings that machine might have that could differ from the
machine used for writing and testing the code. Docker is a bit like a virtual machine.
But unlike a virtual machine, rather than creating a whole virtual operating
system, Docker allows applications to use the same Linux kernel as the system
that they're running on and only requires applications is shipped with things
not already running on the host computer. This gives a significant performance
boost and reduces the size of the application. And importantly, Docker is open source. This means that anyone can
contribute to Docker and extend it to meet their own needs if they need
additional features that aren't available out of the box.
