)是具備數據存儲(datastorage)、修改功能，并實現對相關邏輯與數據的計算的現代化智能電子設備(intelligentelectronicequipment)作為集成網絡、計算、媒體等技術為一體的電子設備，計算機技術是指計算機領域中所運用的技術方法和技術手段，或指其硬件技術(hardwaretechnology)、軟件技術(softwaretechnology)及應用技術計算機技術具有明顯的綜合特性，它與電子工程(electronicengineering)x應用物理(appliedphysics)、機械工程(mechanicalengineering)、現代通信技術(moderncommunicationtechnology)和數學等緊密結合，發展很快。?CulturalBackgroundNEXTBACK?CulturalBackgroundNEXTPREV.UP二、計算機技術的未來當前，世界各國都在積極研發超級計算機(supercomputer)，超級計算機是能夠執行一般個人電腦無法處理的大資料量與高速運算的電腦。就超級計算的和普通計算機的組成而言，構成組件基本相同，但在性能和規模方面卻有差異。超級計算機主要特點包含兩個方面：極大的數據存儲容量和極快速的數據處理(dataprocessing)速度，因此它可以在多種領域進行一些人們或者普通計算機無法進行的工作，可應用于醫學制藥(pharmaceutical)、先進制造(advancedmanufacture)、人工智能(artificialintelligence)等新興領域。?CulturalBackgroundBACKPREV.三、中國面臨的挑戰從中國情況看，從事計算機軟件開發的高端人才遠遠低于發達國家，半導體(semiconductor)生產技術也落后于歐美。美國從事計算機軟件開發的人才達到180多萬，印度達到90萬，而中國從事計算機軟件開發的人才不足40萬。這就說明，中國計算機軟件人才短缺，這將嚴重束縛中國IT行業的發展，特別是直接影響到中國經濟的發展和社會的進步。現在，芯片(chip)行業已經成為了國家的戰略產業。如果失去國外芯片的支持，幾乎所有民用領域的電子產品升級都將受到嚴重制約，因此，從數學、計算機人才的培養，到材料領域的發展，都需要國家的大力支持。人工智能機器翻譯AImachinetranslationWordstoKnowBACKaclassofthingsthathaveparticularfeaturesincommon種類，類別sort/sR:t/
