Types of Computers: Madhumitha Srinivasan 1003129

This document discusses different types of computers. It describes analog computers, which provide continuous outputs by measuring physical quantities like temperature and pressure. It also describes digital computers, which represent input data as numbers and can perform logical and arithmetic operations with unlimited accuracy but sequentially. Microcomputers are the smallest and can be the size of a desktop, while mini computers are more powerful but smaller than mainframe computers. Mainframe computers offer faster processing and greater storage and are used as central servers. Supercomputers contain multiple parallel CPUs and are the fastest but most expensive, used for scientific applications like weather forecasting.

TYPES OF COMPUTERS

MADHUMITHA SRINIVASAN 1003129

THE TYPES ARE


Home Micro Computer PC Main frame Computer Digital computer

Super Computer
Type of computer Analog computer Mini Computer Hybrid Computer

ANALOG COMPUTERS
Analog computer measures and answer the questions by the method of HOW MUCH. The input data is not a number infect a physical quantity like tem, pressure, speed, velocity. Signals are continuous of (0 to 10 V) Accuracy 1% Approximately High speed Output is continuous Time is wasted in transmission time

DIGITAL COMPUTERS
Digital computer counts and answer the questions by the method of HOW Many. The input data is represented by a number. These are used for the logical and arithmetic operations. Signals are two level of (0 V or 5 V) Accuracy unlimited low speed sequential as well as parallel processing Output is continuous but obtain when computation is completed.

MICRO AND MINI COMPUTERS


Micro computers are the smallest computer system. There size range from calculator to desktop size. Its CPU is microprocessor. It also known as Grand child Computer. Application : - personal computer, Multi user system, offices. Mini computers also are small general purpose system. They are generally more powerful and most useful as compared to micro computer. Mini computer are also known as mid range computer or Child computer. Application :- Departmental systems, Network Servers, work group system.

MAINFRAME AND SUPER COMPUTERS


Mainframe computers are those computers that offer faster processing and grater storage area. The word main frame comes from the metal frames. It is also known as Father computer. Application Host computer, Central data base server. Super computers are those computer which are designed for scientific job like whether forecasting and artificial intelligence etc. They are fastest and expensive. A super computer contains a number of CPU which operate in parallel to make it faster. It also known as grand father computer. Application whether forecasting, weapons research and development.
