    Multi-Device Insurance (part of Multi-Device Protection Pack) Device Eligibility and Deductible Schedule 6/1/2014 Update Devices connected to the AT&T network: The Equipment Tier list is updated regularly to include new models. This list applies to only the devices connected to the AT&T network. Devices introduced under Equipment Tier 2 or Equipment Tier 3 may be moved to a lower Tier during their lifecycle. The non-refundable deductible is based on the date of loss. If you are not certain of the model of your device, refer to your original receipt or you may be able to determine the model by following these steps (if applicable): Turn the power off. Carefully remove the battery cover and the battery. The model is typically printed on the white label located under the battery. This list is changed from time to time. Please check this list any time your equipment changes. Multi-Device Insurance for devices connected to the AT&T network is not available for and coverage does not apply to: Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100A) Blackberry Playbook ® Phones on GoPhone accounts Tablets with pre-paid data plans PlayStation® Vita AT&T 3G MicroCell Phone or device models not sold by AT&T (e.g., Dell Streak, Google Nexus One, TerreStar Genus) Docks (such as for the Motorola ATRIX 4G) Amazon Kindle Eligibility is subject to change.

    In This Video We Are Going to See How a Personal Computer Hardware Is Organised the PC Was Designed with an Open Architecture

    In this video we are going to see how a personal computer hardware is organised The PC was designed with an open architecture. This means that it uses standard modular components. We can add, replace, update or swap them easily and the computer will identify and handle the new devices automatically. The main component of a computer system is the motherboard or main board. It is a printed circuit board (PCB) that holds the main components of the computer and the electronics needed to communicate between them and to expand the system. We could say that it is the central nervous system of the computer. A motherboard provides the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate. Unlike a backplane, it also contains the central processing unit and hosts other subsystems and devices The form factor is the specification of a motherboard – the dimensions, power supply type, location of mounting holes, number of ports on the back panel, etc. In the IBM PC compatible industry, standard form factors ensure that parts are interchangeable across competing vendors and generations of technology, while in enterprise computing, form factors ensure that server modules fit into existing rack mount systems. Traditionally, the most significant specification is for that of the motherboard, which generally dictates the overall size of the case. The most used form factor for IBM PC compatible motherboards is ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) and its derivatives. For small form factor mainboards mini ITX is the de facto standard. A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low- voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer.

It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.
