Difference Between 32-bit and 64-bit Smartphones

A smartphone is a mobile phone (otherwise called) with a propelled portable working framework which consolidates components of a PC working framework with different elements valuable for versatile or handheld utilize.







Most can get to the Internet and can run an assortment of outside programming segments (“applications“). They commonly have a shading show with a graphical UI that spreads at least 70% of the front surface. The show is regularly a touchscreen, which empowers the client to utilize a virtual console to sort words and numbers and press onscreen symbols to actuate “application” highlights.

Difference Between 32-bit and 64-bit Smartphones

  • A 64-bitphone is an improvement over a 32-bit phone.
  • A 64-bit processor has a lot more processing space than a 32-bit processor, which sounds impressive on paper.
  • When a processor is labeled as 32- or 64-bit, it’s referring to some values that can be stored in that particular processor’s register. Processors use their register to store data as they perform their job, so more room means more values can be stored.,

32 bit64 bit
Processor

The 32-bit processors can get fewer data as per second.With the extra space that 64-bit processors have, they can get more data per second
The 32-bit Processor does not have more room to work with large volume of data

After all, they have much more room to store more data, which means they can work on larger volumes of data without having to go back to memory.
As a result, 32-bit Processor can take the processing of data slow.Thus, 64-bit processors can take in and process data faster
A 32-bit processor has room for 2^32 values (around 4 billion, rounded down)A 64-bit processor can store 2^64 of them (18 quintillions, rounded down). This means that 64-bit processors have four billion times more addresses at their disposal than 32-bit processors
RAM

The size of a 32-bit register means that software is restricted to using 4GB of memory at an absolute best. This means that if we install more than 4GB of RAM in a phone with a 32-bit processor, the extra RAM can’t be used by software and “goes to waste” as a result.

64-bit processors increase the amount of RAM that can be practically used in a device.

 To consider a limit-
It contains a less amount of data which make the processing very slow.
To consider a limit-
By simply installing a 64-bit processor, the size of its register allows us to use up to 16 exabytes (17 billion GB) of RAM in a device, which means we can have more than 4GB  of RAM on our phones.
Apps

If the apps make in 32-bit than the speed of that application become very slow as compared to 64-bitIf the apps make in 64-bit than the speed of that application become very fast as compared to 32-bit


Not at all like something like circle space, the subject of 32-bit versus 64-bit for Android telephones isn’t clear as crystal. Ideally, you’ll now realize what the particular is, the thing that it implies for cell phones, and regardless of the possibility that your telephone is 64-bit or not.


Latest Exynos made on 10nm FinFET process

Samsung Electronics has launched the Exynos 9 Series 8895 applications processor, manufactured on a 10nm FinFET process. The eight core processor integrates four of Samsung’s second generation custom designed CPU cores, as well as four ARM Cortex-A53 cores. The heterogeneous system architecture is said to enable faster computing in applications such as artificial intelligence and deep learning.

The Exynos 8895 also delivers what Samsung calls ‘unsurpassed’ multimedia experience, with a multi format codec (MFC) and the ARM Mali-G71 GPU. Using MFC, the processor is said to support 4K video recording and playback at up to 120frame/s.

A separate processing unit provides enhanced security, while an embedded vision processing unit (VPU) can recognize and analyze items or movements for improved video tracking, panoramic image processing, and machine vision technology.

Ben Hur, Samsung Electronics’ vice president of system LSI marketing, said: “With industry leading technologies like VPU, the Exynos 8895 will drive the innovation of next-generation smartphones, VR headsets, and automotive infotainment systems.”

Antivirus Firm Kaspersky Launches Its Own Hackproof OS, Based On Microkernel

The popular cyber security and antivirus company Kaspersky has unveiled its new hack-proof operating system: Kaspersky OS.
The new operating system has been in development for last 14 years and has chosen to design from scratch rather than relying on Linux.
Kaspersky OS makes its debut on a Kraftway Layer 3 Switch, CEO Eugene Kaspersky says in his blog post, without revealing many details about its new operating system.

The Layer of 3-switch is the very first tool for running the Kaspersky OS, which is designed for networks with extreme requirements for data security and aimed at critical infrastructure and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.









What's new in Kaspersky OS than others?


Kaspersky OS is based on Microkernel Architecture: The new secure OS is based on microkernel architecture that enables users to customize their own operating system accordingly.

So, depending on a user's specific requirements, Kaspersky OS can be designed by using different modifications blocks of the operating system.

Kaspersky OS is non-Linux: Yes, one of the three major distinctive features of the new OS mentioned by Kaspersky is that the GUI-less operating system has been constructed from scratch and does not contain "even the slightest smell of Linux.".


"All the popular operating systems are not designed with security in mind, so it is simpler and safer to start from the ground up and do everything correctly. Which is just what we did," says Kaspersky."

But what makes Kaspersky OS Hack-Proof?

It is the operating system's inbuilt security system. Yes, Kaspersky OS inbuilt security system has the ability to control the behavior of applications and the OS modules.
Kaspersky OS claims itself as practically unhackable OS , because for gaining unauthorized access, any hacker would need to break the digital signature of an account holder, which is possible only with a quantum computer.





"All the popular operating systems are not designed with security in mind, so it is simpler and safer to start from the ground up and do everything correctly. Which is just what we did," says Kaspersky.


Kaspersky talked about the recent DDoS attacks that affected numerous websites in past few months. He guaranteed that Kaspersky OS would protect devices, such as industrial control systems, SCADA or ICS, and IoTs, from cyber attacks.

The most severe one was the recent massive DDoS attack on Dyn's DNS servers, which knock down popular sites like Amazon and Twitter. The attack was carried out by Mirai botnets that had infected smart devices like security cameras.

So, Kaspersky says it is mandatory to protect the IoT and other critical infrastructure (like industry, transport, and telecoms) from IT threats.
"I also hope it's clear that it's better – no matter how difficult – to build IoT/infrastructure devices from the very beginning in such a way that hacking them is practically impossible. Indeed, that is a fundamental goal with Kaspersky OS," he says.
More details about Kaspersky's secure operating system is coming soon. Stay Tuned! :-

Microsoft Developed An App That Can Read Your Eyes

Microsoft’s researchers have developed an app that could help people speak the language of eyes. GazeSpeak is a smartphone app that has been created by researchers while working with Microsoft. It can interpret eye gestures in real time and can predict what the person is trying to say.

The app does the simple job. It divides alphabets into the grid of four boxes which are visible to the individual who has ALS via a sticker on the back of the device. The sufferer needs to look at the stickers, and the app can register the response corresponding to them looking up, right, left and down

            






Xiaoyi Zhang, intern at Microsoft Research, explained “For example, to say the word ‘task’ they first look down to select the group containing ‘t’, then up to select the group containing ‘a’, and so on,” GazeSpeak then uses AI and predictive texting to guess the word they were going for.
Meredith Morris at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington said: “We’re using computer vision to recognize the eye gestures, and AI to do the word prediction.” Well, the other method that is used to communicate with patients suffering from this disease is by writing letters on a board and tracking eye movement. But, GazeSpeak beats all another method by taking an average of 78 seconds as opposed to existing methods which takes 123 seconds to complete a sentence

Internet

The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANet. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to "talk to" research computers at other universities. A side benefit of ARPANet's design was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disasters.

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguishes the Internet is its use of a set of protocols called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet, and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP protocol.






The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web"). Its outstanding feature is hypertext, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in the text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are "clickable." If you move the pointer over a spot on a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you can click and be transferred to another site.

The Internet has continued to grow and evolve over the years of its existence. IPv6, for example, was designed to anticipate enormous future expansion in the number of available IP addresses. In a related development, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the burgeoning environment in which almost any entity or object can be provided with a unique identifier and the ability to transfer data automatically over the Internet.

10 REASONS WHY LINUX IS BETTER THAN WINDOWS


If you are not a power user, it might seem that “Windows” OS is a better (or easier) choice when compared to Linux. In either case, if you are not enjoying using a Linux distro then Windows would be your obvious choice.

However, in reality, we tend to experience something different, which lets us jump to the conclusion where Linux gets the edge over Windows OS.

ADVANTAGES OF LINUX OVER WINDOWS

In this article, we will take a look at 10 of the compelling reasons why Linux is better than Windows. Some of the points mentioned here are already discussed in our earlier article on why switch to Linux.

1. OPEN SOURCE NATURE

What is it like when you buy a car, but you cannot see what’s under the hood? Similar is the case with when you use a Windows-powered system.
However, in contrast, Linux is completely an open source project. You can have a look at the source code of a Linux OS, which is a plus.
I know, most people don’t care about this openness of Linux, but to me, this is the most important feature of using GNU/Linux.

2. SECURE

When you have Windows installed, you need to download/purchase an Antivirus program to keep your computer safe from hackers and malware. However, Linux does not require the use of such Anti-Virus programs. Of course, a couple of software tools still exist to help you keep your system free from threats, but it is often unnecessary when you have a Linux system.

3. CAN REVIVE OLDER COMPUTERS

As the operating systems evolve, so do their hardware requirements increase exponentially. For instance, if you purchase a genuine copy of Windows 10, you will have to meet the minimum hardware requirements to run it successfully, and you cannot run it on just about any low-end system.
Nevertheless, with Linux, you could even utilize one of your oldest computer systems to achieve a task. However, that does not mean that every Linux distribution would work with 256 MB of RAM coupled with an outdated processor. However, there are options which you can install on such low-end systems as well (such as Puppy Linux).
So, being an efficient OS, Linux distributions could be fitted to a range of systems (low-end or high-end). In contrast, Windows operating system has a higher hardware requirement.

4. PERFECT FOR PROGRAMMERS

Linux supports almost all of the major programming languages (Python, C/C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, etc.). Moreover, it offers a vast range of applications useful for programming purposes.
The Linux terminal is superior to use over Window’s command line for developers. You would find many libraries developed natively for Linux. Also, a lot of programmers point out that the package manager on Linux helps them get things done easily.

Interestingly, the ability of bash scripting is also one of the most compelling reasons why programmers prefer using Linux OS.

5. SOFTWARE UPDATES

Microsoft pushes a software update when it receives a set of problems or if something major needs to be fixed. On the other hand, you would observe a software update to address a little problem.
So, with Linux, you will notice more updates to fix the problems you might be facing. You will not only encounter a larger number of software updates, but you will also observe much faster software updates.

6. CUSTOMIZATION

One major advantage of using Linux instead of Windows is customization. If you like tweaking your system’s looks, Linux is just perfect for you.

Apart from installing themes, you have tons of beautiful icon themes. In addition to that, you can use Conky to display system information on the desktop in the coolest way possible. Needless to say that you can do a lot around Wallpapers in Linux.

7. VARIETY OF DISTRIBUTIONS

There are no flavors of Windows. Yes, you may have different plans & packages which differ in licensing terms, the period of activation, packaged features, and price.

In contrast, you will find tons of Linux distribution catered for a different set of needs. So, you can choose to install any of the available Linux distros according to your requirements.
For example, there are Linux distributions for hackers, there are Linux distributions for programmers, there are Linux distributions for extremely old computers. There is a Linux for everyone.

8. FREE TO USE

Linux is accessible to the public for free! However, that is not the case with Windows!
You will not have to pay 100-250 USD to get your hands on a genuine copy of a Linux distro (such as Ubuntu, Fedora). So, it is entirely free.
If something is free but useful, it is always the best thing one could expect. With the money you just saved, you can consider enhancing your system (just saying, you can go to Starbucks as well!)

9. BETTER COMMUNITY SUPPORT

You do not need to hire an expert to solve a problem you are facing on your Linux system. You just need to search for a similar thread on the web for a solution or post a thread to let others solve the problem. Within minutes of posting a thread on any of the Linux forums, you may expect a reply along with a detailed solution which would finally help resolve your problem at no cost!

10. RELIABILITY

Windows, as we know it, becomes sluggish day after day. You will want to re-install Windows after a while when you encounter crashes or slowdowns on your system.
If you are using Linux, you will not have to worry about re-installing it just to experience a faster and a smoother system. Linux helps your system run smooth for a longer period (in fact, much longer!).
Also, with Windows, you will have to adapt to a habit where you keep on rebooting the system for just about everything.
  • If you just installed software, reboot!
  • If you recently uninstalled software, reboot!
  • If you just installed a Windows update, reboot!
  • If the system seems to slow down, reboot!

WHAT IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM..


An operating system (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface such as a command line or a graphical user interface (GUI).

An operating system performs these services for applications:-

  • In a multitasking operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before giving another application a turn.
  • It manages the sharing of internal memory among multiple applications.
  • It handles input and output to and from attached hardware devices, such as hard disks, printers, and dial-up ports.
  • It sends messages to each application or interactive user (or to a system operator) about the status of operation and any errors that may have occurred.
  • It can offload the management of what are called batch jobs (for example, printing) so that the initiating application is freed from this work.
  • On computers that can provide parallel processing, an operating system can manage how to divide the program so that it runs on more than one processor at a time.
Common desktop operating systems:-

Windows is Microsoft’s flagship operating system, the de facto standard for home and business computers. Introduced in 1985, the GUI-based OS has been released in many versions since then. The user-friendly Windows 95 was largely responsible for the rapid development of personal computing.
Mac OS is the operating system for Apple's Macintosh line of personal computers and workstations.
Linux is a Unix-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost alternative. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system.

What Is GitHub, and What Is It Used For?












GitHub is a website and service that we hear geeks rave about all the time, yet a lot of people don’t really understand what it does. Want to know what all the GitHub hubbub is about? Read on to find out.

The “Git” in GitHub

To understand GitHub, you must first have an understanding of Git. Git is an open-source version control system that was started by Linus Trovalds – the same person who created Linux. 
Version control systems
So, Git is a “version control system,” what’s that mean? When developers are creating something (an application, for example), they are making constant changes to the code and releasing new versions, up to and after the first official (non-beta) release.
Version control systems keep these revisions straight and store the modifications in a central repository. This allows developers to easily collaborate, as they can download a new version of the software, make changes, and upload the newest revision. Every developer can see these new changes, download them, and contribute.

The “Hub” in GitHub


We’ve established that Git is a version control system, similar but better than the many alternatives available. So, what makes GitHub so special? Git is a command-line tool, but the center around which all things involving Git revolve – effectively, the Hub, is GitHub.com, where developers can store their projects and network with like-minded people.

GitHub isn’t just for developers

All this talk about how GitHub is ideal for programmers may have you believing that they are the only ones who will find it useful. Although it’s a lot less common, GitHub can actually be used for any types of files – so if you have a team that is constantly making changes to a word document, you can actually use GitHub as your version control system.  This practice isn’t common as there are better alternatives, but keep it in mind.
