Different Architectures of NVidia GPUs

In today's blog, we will be discussing the different types of architecture(current) of the NVidia GPUs. You might have noticed some terms like Pascal, Turing and Ampere . These are the three types of architecture in which NVidia Graphics Card works. Pascal Architecture: Pascal is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2016.  This architecture is primarily used in the GeForce 10 Series  starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which were released on May 17, 2016, and June 10, 2016, respectively.  The architecture was named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. This architecture has 64-128 CUDA cores, a memory bandwidth of 720GiB/s, and NVlink. They also announced the RayTracing support for Pascal Architecture in 2019 after a driver update, Turing Architecture: Turing is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2018. This architecture was primarily used by RTX 20

Life on Venus! We forgot to check our Earth's twin!

  A scientific study published in 2019, says that we can find extraterrestrial life by finding the amount of  phosphine  in the atmosphere of planets. Phosphine is a gas produced by anaerobic organisms, organisms who don't need oxygen to live. Phosphine : PH 3 Phosphine is found in gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. It is because of an abundant source of hydrogen, not due to life forms. But in oxygen-rich like Earth, they are not prevalent.    Phosphine Molecules on the clouds of Venus   Recently, we have discovered phosphine in the clouds of Venus. It is not our first sighting. Vega probes of Soviet union have landed on the surface of Venus and predicted phosphorus. But it was not precise. Vega founded particles about 1 micron thick (Thickness of bacteria) suspending on the atmosphere. But how anything can live in Venus which is covered by a deadly acid, Sulphuric acid! Picture of Surface of Venus One of the ideas is that sulphur molecule (S8) covers microbes of the Venus. Sulph

Rusting of Moon! But How?

Chandrayaan 1 orbiter has shown that the moon is rusting! People who have studied school would have known that iron rusts when exposed to oxygen or water, and there is no atmosphere surrounding the moon. So how does the moon rust? WHAT IS RUST? Rust or Iron Oxide is a chemical phenomenon found in iron gates, nails and any other iron exposed to oxygen. WHY IS MARS REDDISH? You guessed it! The culprit is rust.       HOW IS MOON GETTING RUST? DOES IT HAVE A SECRET ATMOSPHERE? Moon does not have an atmosphere. It's Earth's fault! Maybe the atmosphere of Earth causes the moon to rust. A type of rust called  Hematite  is found rich in the poles. It first shocked the people. But then they figured out that water on the moon may react with rocks, to cause a variety of rocks! SO, WHAT'S NEXT? Moon will slowly go reddish like mars. That's all.

What are the different editions of WIndows 10?

There are 3 editions in Windows 10. Each edition can be useful in various ways. You can pick the preferred Windows10 from the official website of Windows. If you have been using windows for quite a long time, you might have heard about the different versions of Windows. In this blog, we will be taking a better look at the different editions of Windows 10.  Windows 10 Home Most pre-built computers and laptops are shipped with Windows 10 Home. It contains every feature a common man needs. there are no missing features here when compared to Windows 10 Pro unless you are some sort of a Tech Savy. It does have certain limitations though. This Operating System can only support up to 128GB. You may think why having this much amount of RAM isn't enough. It's because you aren't a Tech Savy. No one usually uses at least more than 64GB RAM either. Another missing "feature" is the BitLocker which allows you to lock your hard drive to encrypt your files. Windows 10 Pro Window

Why are there different types of Mozilla Firefox?

  Firefox is a fast and famous browser, developed by a non-profit. Firefox's speed and privacy were the key points that brought them up. By hearing all this, at last, you go to Mozilla Firefox Website to download it. But there are different types! Which one should you choose and which one you should download? STABLE EDITION It is the most used and stable Firefox Browser. It is the one you have seen in your computer lab. Firefox updates it every six weeks, checks and revises and, thus bug-free. BETA EDITION   It is one step ahead from the stable version. Beta versions have the next update or release of the stable version but sooner. Beta also has some minor security things for good. For instance, a developer can run an unpublished add-on in the beta version, but not in the stable version since the stable version does only allow authorised add-on. Beta can be good for those who are curious browser to see the next updates. For the developers, we have the next one! DEV EDITION

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!

Inevitable fate of Milky Way galaxy: Cosmic Collision with Andromeda

Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula )  is our nearest galaxy about 2.5 million  light-years  far. The mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way.  The Halo if it is visible. It is expected to collide with Milky Way in about 4.5 billion years and form an elliptical galaxy. It is recently proven as scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have mapped the halo of Andromeda entering our Milky Way! Halo:  an immense envelope of gas. This light and invisible halo extends from her parent galaxy(about 1.3 million light-years) and are halfway through of ours. It is a layered structure with a complex one inside it.  The outer shell is smoother and hotter, whereas the inner is long. The difference may have formed due to numerous supernova explosions.  The halo is found by quasars, which acts as a torchlight. Because we live inside the Milky Way, scientists cannot easily interpret the signature of o

Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking: Review and Shop

Brief History of Time   by Stephen Hawking was the first physics book I finished. Stephen Hawking,  the renowned pop-star theoretical physicist, has done a great job in writing a book which can be read by average readers! Though it is a little old compared to today's science. I assure you that you will receive a lot of knowledge after reading the book. A book required for any science enthusiast. This is a small book, so you can finish in 2 days! I'm going to give an outline of the book. Don't worry, this won't be counted as spoilers. This is not a storybook! OUR PICTURE OF UNIVERSE Hawking travels through time to show us the mankind's interpretation of the world. From the earth standing on top of tortoises to flat-earthers to Copernican theory (The Earth is spherical). From static universe to an ever-expanding universe!  QUANTUM MECHANICS The well-known but not well-understood theory is the  Quantum Mechanics.  The book teaches us the Uncertainty principle and a lot
