WHAT IS DOUBLE BUFFERING IN JAVA

Double buffering is an extremely powerful concept that has helped make some of today’s flicker-free animation and game play possible. It reduces flicker by performing all the graphics functions on a hidden image that resides in memory instead of drawing directly to the screen. Then, the entire image is dis- played all at once instead of having to update the screen every time a new bit of graphics is drawn. If we removed the double buffering technique from our applet, you would see the screen flicker every time the text moved even a little bit. (As an experiment, you might want to try changing the applet code so that the double buffering gets disabled.) If we were drawing any extra graphics or additional text, you would also see flickers for each of those events. These flashes and flick- ers occur because the screen is updated multiple times during the drawing of the object and the Applet class’ paint() method clears the screen before it redraws it. With text, the screen

HIGHEST DATA TRANSFER RATE RECORD 186 GBps

Researchers transmit record 186 GB data per second  Researchers have successfully transmitted 186 gigabits of data per second (GBps), accomplishing a new world record and helping user in the next generation of high-speed network technology. The rate is equivalent to moving two million gigabytes per day, fast enough to transfer nearly 100,000 full Blu-ray discs - each with a complete movie and all the extras - in a day. The international team of scientists at the SuperComputing 2011 (SC11), Seattle, accomplished the feat mid-November, transferring data in opposite directions at a combined rate of 186 GBps in a wide-area network circuit, according to a California Institute of Technology (Caltech) statement. The team of high-energy physicists, computer scientists and network engineers was led by Caltech, the University of Victoria, University of Michigan, European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), Florida International University and other partners.

HOW DID JAVA GET ITS NAME

  When you think of other programming languages’ names, such as BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, C, C++, and PASCAL, the name Java doesn’t really fit in. The name itself is interesting enough to garner curiosity. So just how did Java get its name?  The original name for Java was intended to be “OAK”, but they couldn’t use that name because it was already taken (by Oak Technologies). Other names floating around were “Silk” and “DNA”. Apparently, the name “Java” was ultimately picked because it gave the Web a “jolt” and Sun wanted to avoid names that sounded nerdy. Java certainly does its part in making the Internet the interactive, dynamic, not to mention fun, technology that it is. READ MORE  source: java program for the Absolute Beginner by Joseph P.Russel

IIT PLACEMENT,70 Lakh OFFER FROM FACEBOOK

Social networking giant Facebook has offered about Rs 70 lakh per annum package to an IIT student here in the ongoing campus placements. "M Tech (computer science and engineering) student Siddharth Agrawal has been offered the package (near about Rs 70 lakh)," IIT-K registrar Sanjeev Kashelkar said. He said Facebook has offered high packages to other students as well but the one offered to Agrawal is the highest so far. The registrar, however, did not disclose the exact amount.

The placement process in the IIT here started on December 2 with over 950 graduates and post-graduates vying for jobs in high-profile companies like Microsoft, GE, Infosys and TCS. On the first day itself, over 100 students were placed, with 15 students being picked up by Microsoft. Over 400 students have been placed so far since the placement process began, the registrar said.
