Computers which are classified based on the-
1. Data type handling
2. Purpose, they serve.
3. Functionality
TYPES OF COMPUTERS BASED ON DATA TYPE HANDLING
Based on the data type handling, computers can be categorized as Digital,
Analog, and Hybrid.
Digital
Personal computers are an example of a digital computer. These computers
perform all the logical & arithmetical operations. Any input given in any
language is first converted into binary language and then the computer Learners will integrate to read the lesson.
processes the information. Examples – laptops, PCs, mobile phones, desktops,
etc.
Analog
These computers process analog data. Analog computers perform with equal
diligence and accuracy. They are however slower than digital computers.
Analog computers are for a Speedometer, thermometer, frequency, and signal
of voltage, measuring the resistance of a capacitor.
Hybrid
Hybrid computers are a mix of both analog and digital computers. These
 TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

computers perform a high level of calculations. Hybrid computers are quick

and efficient. They take input in analog form, convert it into digital form, and
then process it to produce an output. Scientists are also using hybrid
computers for complex calculations. For example, in hospitals to measure the
heartbeat of the patients, and at research institutes to measure earthquakes and
other natural calamities.
Microcomputer
Microcomputers are nothing but personal computers. These are single-chip
systems. These are useful for personal use and can perform all the basic
functions of the computer. Microcomputers require very little space and are
comparatively.
inexpensive. Such computers have the most minimalistic requirement in terms
of I/O devices. And have all the circuitry mounted on a single PCB. For
examples, tablets, I pads, smartwatches, laptops, desktops.
Minicomputer
Standing in between a microcomputer and a mainframe computer is the
minicomputer. These computers are useful if people around 5 to 300. Those
who want to operate the system at the same time. You can see such computers
at the billing counters of malls or large institutions.
Mainframe
Mainframe computers are useful when a large number of people are involved.
Like in the health care or retail sector who want to access data simultaneously.
These computers process large amounts of data. Examples – IBM z Series,
System z9, etc.
Supercomputers
The biggest and fastest computers are supercomputers. Such computers can
process trillions of functions within a few seconds. We generally use
MPIS( Million Instructions Per Second) to measure their performance. These
computers are specifically designed for scientific applications such as –
1. Encryption decryption of passwords
2. Weather forecasting
3. Testing of nuclear weapons
4. Scientific research of earth and other planetary systems, etc.
Examples – PARAM supercomputer series, Gravity Pipe for astrophysics,
Deep Crack for deciphering codes, etc.
Workstations
Workstation computers are for single usage and professional purposes. These
are like our basic laptops and desktops but with added superior features. For
example, double-processor motherboard, added graphic card, ECC RAM, etc.
The workstations are more powerful as compared to generic PCs. These can
handle heavy-duty functions. Like animation, CAD, audio
& video editing, professional gaming,
etc. Examples: Apple PowerBook G4, SPARC CPU, MIPS CPU,
etc.
Servers
These are hardware components or software programs that are built to assist
other computers termed as clients. Together this architecture is called the
client-server model. The client sends a request to the server and the server
responds in return with a result or a solution. This proves that these server
computers are more powerful than standard computers. The main purpose of
these computers is to share data and resources with other computers. Different
types of servers are useful for different needs and applications. For example,
cloud server, application server, database server, file server, etc. Each of these
servers has a different purpose for different client needs.
Embedded
These computers are mainly microcontroller-based systems. Used for
processing specific tasks. Embedded computers have a combination of
software and hardware components. But are usually a part of a larger system.
Each of its components is designed from scratch to serve a specific purpose or
complete a specific task. Another characteristic that distinguishes them from a
standard PC is that all of its components are integrated into a single PCB or
motherboard. They are most helpful for industrial use. this is because of
their ruggedness. Examples: GPS systems, centralized heating systems,
fitness trackers, digital watches, electronic calculators, etc.
Information appliances
Mostly portable devices designed for specific functions come under this
category. They can perform very restricted tasks for which they are built like
text editors, music players, photography, videography, etc. The most common
example is mobile phones. Many wearable devices are also available in the
market.
