ABOUT GCS

About Global Computing System

Needs for comuting depends on what the person is doing. A design engineer for aerospace products does a lot of computing in his work. Generally computing is a good way for us to make things sure and to get convinced.
Although computers are ubiquitous now thanks to WWW, they are not made to serve computing needs well. The calculator that appears on the display when clicked can do simple arithmatics including squareroots. However a lot of people have their hand-held calculators separately. Many of those hand-held calculators can also calculate sines and cosines, which an ordinary PC with a powerfull CPU does not provide means to handle.
There usually is a spreadsheet calculating tool installed. But they are difficult for an average person to use.
Beyond that level, you are supposed to buy an expensive box of calculating software, that comes in multiple versions including standard and deluxe. I know many people who tried but were not able to master them.
It is said that there are abundant calculating tools which are downloadble free of charge. You would be inclined to be hesitant to such lure, because they frequently end up spawning strange files in your computer without proving itself to be ever useful.
GCS is intended to reset these sort of hung-up situations.

WWW is surely a break-through because of its popularity. Public demand for more attractive websites and the corresponding investiments for hardware improvement brought forth a superb 'computing' machine as a by-product.
It has become possible to do a lot of computing works on the server-side for clients.
GCS utilizes this new capablity.

It is desirable that data are provided from a server in the way they can be processed on the client side. We see a lot of data on the Web that are in the form of either a graph or a table. Some of them are useless when left alone, as in such cases when those data are coefficients of a polynominal function.
GCS provides data in the form of a function and the client can process in his C program in whatever the way he is happy with.

You may have noticed by now that I am not familiar with those convenient tools that appear in the title of books in the computer bookstore. You guessed right and I confess that I have bought none of those books. I know vaguely which one appered and disappeared, superseded by another which one, things like that. It takes a lot of effort to learn and get appreciative on any one such system.
On the other hand, GCS does not invent anything anew. The C programming language has been around for decades and the CGI using HTML form is very familiar to everyone.
