In the latest Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, “The Wandering Earth,” the sun has expanded into a red giant that is about to devour the Earth. The country plans to complete the construction of 'artificial sun' this year, an official at the China National Nuclear Corporation said on Sunday, state-affiliated. The 'artificial sun' is a device intended to provide almost infinite clean energy by replicating the nuclear fusion process that occurs in stars, achieving temperatures above 100 million degrees Celsius. Ipos4. In real life, China is trying to create a sun here on Earth — without destroying the entire planet. China also has plans to launch an 'artificial moon' in the southwestern city of Chengdu to light up the city's night sky by 2020.
'NT' formerly expanded to 'New Technology' but no longer carries any specific meaning. Starting with, 'NT' was removed from the product name and is only included in the product version string. NT was the first purely version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. It is a multi-architecture operating system.
Initially, it supported several, including,, and; support for,,, and were added later. The latest versions support (more specifically IA-32 and x64) and ARM. Major features of the Windows NT family include,,,,,,,,,,. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • Naming [ ] It has been suggested that intended the initialism 'WNT' as a play on,. However, the project was originally intended as a follow-on to and was referred to as 'NT OS/2' before receiving the Windows brand. One of the original NT developers,, states that the name was taken from the original target processor—the, code-named N10 ('N-Ten'). A 1998 question-and-answer session with revealed that the letters were previously to 'New Technology' but no longer carry any specific meaning.
The letters were dropped from the names of releases from Windows 2000 and later, though Microsoft described that product as being 'Built on NT Technology'. Major features [ ] A main design goal of NT was hardware and software portability. Various versions of NT family operating systems have been released for a variety of processor architectures, initially,, and, with,, and supported in later releases. The idea was to have a common code base with a custom (HAL) for each platform. However, support for MIPS, Alpha, and PowerPC was later dropped in Windows 2000. Broad software compatibility was achieved with support for several 'personalities', including,, and APIs – the latter two were phased out starting with Windows XP. Partial compatibility was achieved via an integrated – although this feature is being phased out in the architecture.
NT supported per-object (file, function, and role) allowing a rich set of security permissions to be applied to systems and services. NT supported Windows network protocols, inheriting the previous OS/2 networking, as well as networking (for which Microsoft would implement a TCP/IP stack derived at first from a -based stack from, then later rewritten in-house).
Windows NT 3.1 was the first version of Windows to use 32-bit flat virtual memory addressing on 32-bit processors. Its companion product, Windows 3.1, used segmented addressing and switches from 16-bit to 32-bit addressing in pages. Windows NT 3.1 featured a core kernel providing a system API, running in (ring 0 in x86; referred to in Windows NT as 'kernel mode' on all platforms), and a set of user-space environments with their own APIs which included the new Win32 environment, an OS/2 1.3 text-mode environment and a POSIX environment.
