Data Processing: A Study

Data Processing means performing a series of steps to change or preserve the form of data. Data Processing is performed using an established procedure. Generally,  a Computer Program, that is implemented using a programming paradigm, performs the task of Data Processing.

The different streams of job responsibilities, that are part and parcel of Data Processing, are briefly highlighted:

( 1 ) Processing of large quantities of Experimental Results that are part of Scientific Research.

( 2 ) Processing of Personal Information.

( 3 ) Applying programming techniques to Multiple Data Streams.

( 4 ) Operations on Production Level Data.

( 5 ) Making Sales Forecasts.

( 6 ) Generation of Pivot Reports.

( 7 ) Analysis of Investment Plans.

( 8 ) Preparation of Orders.

Data Processing tasks are performed at organisational level necessitating deployment of Computer Applications. Computer Applications are empowered to process large quantities of data. Application Systems are developed by experts of Computer Applications and Software Development.

We may say that our requirement to transform data moves us to develop Computer Applications. Computer Applications transform data as per the requirements of the context.

Data Processing encompasses:

( 1 ) System Analysis and Design Aspects

( 2 ) Program Development & Maintenance 

( 3 ) Database Administration 

( 4 ) Computer Operations 

( 5 ) Data Preparation 

( 6 ) Data Control 

( 7 ) Network Management

Data originating from different organisations is marked by a remarkable commonness. So, organisational data has been integrated and rationalized. We have developed databases for organisational data. Processing of organisational data requires Database Management Systems ( DBMS ). 

Data Processing requires high speed  Computers. The Computing power impacts processing of data. A high speed Computer performs very well. Sufficiently available memory space also boosts the speed of Data Processing.

The integrity of processed data must be intact. If trustworthiness ( integrity ) of data is retained after Data Processing, the Computer Software deployed for the task has crunched the data items pretty well, we can say.

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Computers - An Introduction

Computers are man made machines. They are made to work very fast. Working fast they can solve  big and small problems.  Modern science has given us these computers. They are very popular. Computers affect and change lives. They keep us happy.The happiness grows. Computers are quick and smart. Great problem solvers and simplifiers are our computers. They can do our work without stopping. Focus is on doing only what is needed. Not needed, not done.  Computers are  life-less servants. They cannot think or make decisions on their own. They are empowered to work. They are given each and every thing so that they carry out our orders. Orders are respected by computers. The manner in which computers work is wholly dependent on man.  The quality of service provided by computers is remarkable. They are loved by human beings. Computers are known for smart and quick service. Computers do not give wrong results. Correct answers are always given. Questions which are difficult...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
