    Study Notes

    Computing Platform

    • A computing platform is the underlying hardware and software environment that enables the execution of computer programs and applications.
    • It provides a standardized environment for software developers to create applications that can be executed across a wide range of devices and systems.

    Hardware Platform

    • A hardware platform includes the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, input/output interfaces, and other components.
    • It has varying capabilities, architectures, and performance characteristics.
    • An example of a hardware platform is a computer or a mobile device.

    Platform Technologies

    • Platform Technologies is a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed.
    • It is not a hardware platform, but rather a broader concept that includes hardware, software, and services.

    Key Differences

    • The main difference between a hardware platform and a computing platform is that a hardware platform refers to the physical components, while a computing platform includes both the hardware and software environment.
