4 Brains in 1



As we may have heard during the elementary computer classes, the processor is the "brain" of a computer... Now, how many brains do we humans have??? I beleive we have only 1.

But so happens that nowadays computers have more than one "brains"... This revoloution started with AMD's introduction of a dual-core processor chip... By dual-core we mean two processing units on a single chip working together... It didn't take much time before Intel joined the team "more than one brains" by introducing its own dual core processor chip, called the Intel Core 2 Duo...

Now things changes again !!! Intel makes a giant leep for "computer kind" by introducing a quad core chip... That means instead of 2, now there are 4 processing units in a single chip.... That means "4 brains in 1"... This happened a few days ago when Intel announced the release of it's 2 quad-core processors - Quad-Core IntelR XeonR 5300 and Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core...

So,,,,,, How about if we had that many brains; ever thought about it??? ;)

I do suppose that now AMD has a quad core chip. But here they made a difference between theirs and Intels...

Intels Quad Core is made by putting two Core 2 Duos together. That means there are 4 processing units working/sharing with '2' blocks of resources.

AMD on the other hand put 4 processing units along with 4 blocks of resources allowing each of the processing units to work with its own resources, thereby achieving better performance that Intels.

I had to shut it down to access my blog to post this. I am really tempted to uninstall and go back to bitdefender. However lets wait for one more day(lets not be too hasty :) )...

Billing and CRM Systems

Image
I have been always thinking that a Billing system and a CRM system are a piece of cake. You know, the things you teach programming with in schools, the database linked applications like the Super Market thing, Inventory and then the hospital management programs which your teacher asks you to "memorise" for the exams ;) So, when I heard Billing and CRM System when I first walked into Telstra in Accenture, the above was pretty much what I had been expecting. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into ;) It was like accidently running into the beast. Comverse and Oracle are the makers of the wonderful products called Kenan Arbor and Siebel CRM . Kenan is coming from comverse and Siebel is coming from Oracle. I just learned that Comverse has now made a new product called the Comverse One which includes both Billing and CRM systems together as a package.  Now I guess its pretty obvious that any company who needs a billing system would also need a crm system. Why? Well, Duh,,,...
