Hardware environment to enable implementation of software solution & emerging technologies

The Man Who Ate A Shoe

Hardware environment

Hardware environment is when during the implementation stage of a software solution, a software developer must make decisions based on what hardware the solution can run on. Additionally, determining any additional hardware pieces it requires to run or hardware extensions that can be added that is optional.

Minimum Hardware Configuration

Minimum Hardware Configuration refers to what is the least amount of hardware specs required to run a software solution. This can include the processor, memory, graphics card, network, storage, sound card etc.

Possible Hardware Configuration

Possible Hardware Configuration refers to if a software solution has an optional hardware attachment that can be used with the software solution however is not required for it to run. For example, if the software solution is VR compatible or AR compatible.

Appropriate Drivers/Extensions

Appropriate Drivers/Extensions refers to if a software solution requires drivers for it to work appropriately and efficiently. For example, if a software solution requires a network adapter to work, the software developer will need to make sure that the drivers needed for the network adapter to allow communication to the computer is easy to access or is packaged with the installation of the software solution

History of Artificial intelligence

Neural Network : Neural networks are computing systems with interconnected nodes that work much like neurons in the human brain. Using algorithms, they can recognize hidden patterns and correlations in raw data, cluster and classify it, and – over time – continuously learn and improve. (1950s - 1970s)

Machine Learning: Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. (1980s - 2010s)

Deep Learning: Deep learning is a type of machine learning that trains a computer to perform human-like tasks, such as recognizing speech, identifying images or making predictions. Instead of organizing data to run through predefined equations, deep learning sets up basic parameters about the data and trains the computer to learn on its own by recognizing patterns using many layers of processing. (Present Day)

Language Trends

Currently, the main programming language that is being used within the recent decade is java and java script. The popularity of this language is based on its great adaptive nature for hybrid applications where companies such as Google use it to create and run their search engines coupled with other programming languages.

Outsourcing

The outsourcing market is on a rising spree worldwide. The IT industry outsources projects as business owners prefer outsourcing developers rather than hiring in-house developers, due to cheaper costs and satisfactory performances. While quality may be lost, it is significantly cheaper to outsource, anyway, the loss of quality is meagre.

Code Quality

As technology is flourishing, it is essential to focus on the quality of your code.

As, every software and web development company must have clear development approaches and structures to provide coding to their software. The task type should decide the coding quality and structure solely for the best outcomes.

Internet of Things

IoT app development is the latest advancement in software development which has its effects spread at both the consumer and industrial scale. The technology that essentially binds that all technologies together is set to witness an exponential demand across the domains of safety and customer experience.
