The work area and/or equipment used for computer operations, including computer-aided design (CAD) The equipment generally consists of a monitor, keyboard, printer and/or plotter, and other output devices
(Ticaret) The assigned location used by labor personnel to perform an operation, which may be composed of multiple tasks. Production lines are often a continuous stream of linked workstations
A networked personal computing device with more power than a standard IBM PC or Macintosh Typically, a workstation has an operating system such as unix that is capable of running several tasks at the same time It has several megabytes of memory and a large, high-resolution display Examples are Sun workstations and Digital DECstations
A computer connected to a network at which users interact with software stored on the network
provides network connections and communications The workstation service is a user-mode wrapper for the Microsoft Networks redirector It loads and performs configuration functions for the redirector, provides support for making network connections to remote servers, provides support for the WNet APIs and furnishes redirector statistics If this service is turned off, no network connections can be made to remote computers using Microsoft Networks
Computer, usually a personal computer (PC), that sits on a user's desk End users' workstations must conform to a certain configuration if they are to perform certain functions, such as data entry, viewing data and reporting, with PeopleSoft The Project Office will specify this configuration See Desktop
A "smart" computer terminal that serves as a primary scientific research tool, offering direct access to experimental apparatus, information files, internal computers, and output devices, usually connected to an external communications network
a workstation is generally a computer on a network This means it is connected to other computers in your building and/or in your company wherever they may be A single computer by itself is usually referred to as simply a "computer" neat name, huh?
A computer that is connected to a network A workstation has its own processor, processes applications locally and may access data and resources located elsewhere on the network
A personal computer that may operate in a stand-alone environment, or may be part of a computer network Workstation sometimes refers to a computing system that is more powerful than a simple personal computer
A workstation is a screen and keyboard that are part of an office computer system. Computer intended for use by one person, but with a much faster processor and more memory than an ordinary personal computer. Workstations are designed for powerful business applications that do large numbers of calculations or require high-speed graphical displays; the requirements of CAD/CAM systems were one reason for their initial development. Because of their need for computing power, they are often based on RISC processors and generally use UNIX as their operating system. An early workstation was introduced in 1987 by Sun Microsystems; workstations introduced in 1988 from Apollo, Ardent, and Stellar were aimed at 3D graphics applications. The term workstation is also sometimes used to mean a personal computer connected to a mainframe computer, to distinguish it from "dumb" display terminals with limited applications
{i} place equipped as a unit for performing work; computer terminal, complete computer system (Computers)
personal computer networked to other computers Sometimes more capable than a desktop model
A networked computer that uses server resources A computer that is connected to a mainframe computer It is usually a personal computer connected to a Local Area Network (LAN), which shares the resources of one or more large computers Workstations differ from terminals or dumb terminals in that they can be used independently of the mainframe Also, they can have their own applications installed, as well as their own hard disks A type of computer that requires a significant amount of computing power and that can produce high-quality graphics
