HotHardware is an online publication about computer hardware, consumer electronics and related technologies, mobile computing and PC gaming. It regularly features coverage of new products and technologies from vendors including Intel, Dell, AMD, and NVIDIA. "Daily Hardware Round-ups" also offer reviews and news submitted by other technology ...
A stress test (sometimes called a torture test) of hardware is a form of deliberately intense and thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. Reasons can include: to determine breaking points and ...
3DMark. 3DMark is a computer benchmarking tool created and developed by UL (formerly Futuremark ), to determine the performance of a computer's 3D graphic rendering and CPU workload processing capabilities. Running 3DMark produces a 3DMark score, with higher numbers indicating better performance. The 3DMark measurement unit is intended to give ...
The Utah teapot (1975) has a "hole" in it so it has a genus greater than zero. The Cornell box (1985) tests lighting and rendering. A 3D-printed reproduction of Stanford dragon (1996) physical model, made through rapid prototyping. Suzanne (2002) with wireframe. Spot (2012) shown homeomorphic to a sphere.
A cryptographic accelerator card allows cryptographic operations to be performed at a faster rate. Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU). Any transformation of data that can be calculated ...
Richard Stallman, the founder of the free software movement, was in 1999 skeptical on the idea and relevance of free hardware (his terminology for what is now known as open-source hardware). [79] In a 2015 article in Wired Magazine, he modified this attitude; he acknowledged the importance of free hardware, but still saw no ethical parallel ...

NodeMCU – Wi-Fi microcontroller board. Novena – an ARM based computer built by Andrew Huang and associates. OpenPOWER – Power ISA, an open ...
The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States. [ 1] For few years, a former record that was measured in Libya had been in place, until it was decertified in 2012 based on evidence that it was an erroneous reading.
