S.M.A.R.T.

1. Short for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, S.M.A.R.T, or SMART, is a diagnostic method originally developed by IBM and introduced with the ATA-3 specification that at that time referred to as Predictive Failure Analysis. This technology was developed for IBM mainframe drives to give advanced warning of drive failures. Based on this diagnostic, Compaq announced IntelliSafeTM, which was submitted to the ATA/IDE standards committees and the resulting standard was named S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. analyzes many of the mechanical attributes; over time, some failures can be predicted by detecting if the hard drive is moving out of tolerance. While the S.M.A.R.T. technology can detect upcoming issues, not all hard drive failures are predictable.
Some of the major hard drive manufacturers now including the S.M.A.R.T Technology in their hard drives are IBM, Western Digital, Maxtor, Quantum, Seagate and Fujitsu
2. When referring to software, smart or intelligence and is an ability of a program to function with little or no human interaction.

Computer Buses

Computer Buses   A computer system consists of different devices.CPU must be able to communicate with all devices. The devices are connected together by a communications channel called bus. A bus consists of a set of communication lines or wires. It is used to move a large amount of bits in the form of electrical pulses from one unit to another. The bus is used to connect the following units: Central Processing Unit Control Unit  Arithmetic and Logic Unit Main Memory ( RAM, ROM) Input / Output Devices Bus is a common path to transfer data and commands between CPU, memory and input / output devices.It is also used to send or receive data from secondary storage.The capacity of a bus depends on the number of data lines in it.A bus with 16 lines can carry 16 bits or 2 bytes at a time. A bus with 32 lines can carry 32 bits or 4 bytes at a time . Types Of  Buses Different types of buses are as follows: 1. Data Bus 2.Addres...

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming ( OOP )

Object-Oriented Programming Object Oriented programming is a programing model that is based upon data and object. Classes   Classes are the blueprint of objects. Now you will think about what actually blueprints are. Blueprints are actually a design or plan to build something. Let's take an example like the map is detail plan of house classes are detail plan in  Object-Oriented programming. let's give you an example of a class on java so that you can unferstand. public class Car {          int horsePower;     String name;     String color;      String Company; } public class Sample {     public static void main(String[] args) {         Car car;         Car mehran;             } } Class name always start with capital letters . It is a good practice to name classes .  We will later learn how this is good. So in the above class Car ...
