$100 Diagnosis and Repair Parts-People has been specializing in Dell laptops for 20 years. We are a leading supplier of Dell replacement parts and stock all laptop repair parts needed to repair your Dell laptop. We are a trusted supplier to 1000s of schools, government agencies, military and repair shops worldwide. Send your laptop to the Dell Experts!
Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

According to Japanese scientists, RIKEN's K computer, the fourth most powerful supercomputer known in the world, has accomplished something huge. It has officially and accurately mapped one second's worth of human brain activity. Measuring a single second of activity is also known as one percent of the entire neurological process. The K computer simulated this process in 40 minutes with its 705,024 processor cores, and 1.4 million GB of RAM. To no surprise, a supercomputer taking 40 minutes to figure out what happens in a mere second of our ol' noggin only amplifies the complexity that is the human brain. Although today’s technology may have computational speed and power to rival human response, the human brain still proves to be smarter than any computer is capable of.
The project is a joint enterprise between teams at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japanese research group RIKEN, and German research center, Forschungszentrum Jülich. Their goal was to test the proficiency of simulation technology. Their effort in crunching this data involved using the open-source Neural Simulation Technology, or NEST. The NEST tool replicated a structure of over 1.73 billion nerve cells, and 10.4 trillion synapses.
The new knowledge gained by these groups will promote the formulation of new simulation software. Additionally, neuroscientists will get a glimpse at what they can expect from the soon-to-be future of 'exascale computing'. Exascale computers will have the ability to carry out a quintillion floating point operations per second. Thought to be the same adequacy of an actual human brain, this could make for the next goal to come true, real-time simulation of the brain's activity. According to scientist Markus Diesmann, “If petascale computers like the K computer are capable of representing one per cent of the network of a human brain today, then we know that simulating the whole brain at the level of the individual nerve cell and its synapses will be possible with exascale computers - hopefully available within the next decade".
