  2. Desktop environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment

    In computing, a desktop environment (DE) is an implementation of the desktop metaphor made of a bundle of programs running on top of a computer operating system that share a common graphical user interface (GUI), sometimes described as a graphical shell. The desktop environment was seen mostly on personal computers until the rise of mobile ...

  3. Unconventional computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_computing

    Both traditional quantum computing and neuromorphic quantum computing are physics-based unconventional computing approaches to computations and don't follow the von Neumann architecture. They both construct a system (a circuit) that represents the physical problem at hand, and then leverage their respective physics properties of the system to ...

  4. Deployment environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment

    In software deployment, an environment or tier is a computer system or set of systems in which a computer program or software component is deployed and executed. In simple cases, such as developing and immediately executing a program on the same machine, there may be a single environment, but in industrial use, the development environment (where changes are originally made) and production ...

  5. Operating environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_environment

    An operating environment is not a full operating system, but is a form of middleware that rests between the OS and the application. For example, the first version of Microsoft Windows , Windows 1.0 , was not a full operating system, but a GUI laid over DOS albeit with an API of its own.

  6. Computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing

    This trait of qubits is known as quantum entanglement, and is the core idea of quantum computing that allows quantum computers to do large scale computations. [78] Quantum computing is often used for scientific research in cases where traditional computers do not have the computing power to do the necessary calculations, such in molecular ...

  7. Cloud computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

    In the PaaS models, cloud providers deliver a computing platform, typically including an operating system, programming-language execution environment, database, and the web server. Application developers develop and run their software on a cloud platform instead of directly buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.

  8. Unix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix

    By including the development environment, libraries, documents and the portable, modifiable source code for all of these components, in addition to the kernel of an operating system, Unix was a self-contained software system. This was one of the key reasons it emerged as an important teaching and learning tool and has had a broad influence.

  9. Distributed Computing Environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Computing...

    The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) is a software system developed in the early 1990s from the work of the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium founded in 1988 that included Apollo Computer (part of Hewlett-Packard from 1989), IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and others.
