On the basis of data handling capabili

1) Analog Computer
Designed to measure continuously
electrical or physical conditions, such
as current, voltage, flow,
temperature, length or pressure.
On the basis of data handling capabili

1) Analog Computer
 Purpose:
Mostly analog computers are
special-purpose computers . Normally
they are designed to perform some
specific tasks not multiple tasks.
On the basis of data handling capabili

1) Analog Computer
 Key components:
the components of analog
computer is the Operational amplifier,
and the computer’s capacity is
determined by the number of
amplifiers.
On the basis of data handling capabili

1) Analog Computer
 Example:
Wrist watch(if non-digital) car’s
speedometer, pressure, temperature,
and fuels gauges are also considered
analog computers.
On the basis of data handling capabili
2) Digital Computer
 Designed to perform daily routine tasks
such as writing letters, sending e-mails,
performing calculations in an office or
creating a database to store large
amount of data etc.
 Accepts the raw data as input in the
form of digits or binary numbers (0 and
1) and processes it with programs
stored in its memory to produce the
output.
On the basis of data handling capabili
2) Digital Computer
 Purpose
Digital computers may
be either special or general
purpose. Mostly these computers
are designed to perform multiple
tasks.
On the basis of data handling capabili
2) Digital Computer
Key components
Integrated Circuits
 Examples
Personal Computer,
Laptop, Mainframe, Super
Computer etc.
On the basis of data handling capabili

3) Hybrid Computer
 It can process both continuous and
discrete data.
 It accepts analogue signals and
convert them into digital form
before processing.
 It is widely used in specialized
applications where both analogue
and digital data is processed.
On the basis of data handling capabili

3) Hybrid Computer
A computer which possess
characteristics of both Analog and
Digital computers.
Examples
Cement plant, ECG machine, CNG pump
On the basis of siz

4.) Supercomputer
It is the biggest and fastest
computers.
They are designed to process huge
amount of data.
A supercomputer can process
trillions of instructions in a second.
The first supercomputer was
developed by Roger Cray in 1976.
On the basis of siz

5) Mainframe computer
 Designed to support hundreds or
thousands of users simultaneously.
 They can support multiple
programs at the same time.
*It means they can execute
different processes simultaneously.
On the basis of siz

6) Miniframe or Minicomputer
 It is a midsize multiprocessing
computer.
 It consists of two or more processors
and can support 4 to 200 users at one
time.
 A minicomputer lies between the
mainframe and microcomputer as it is
smaller than mainframe but larger
than a microcomputer.
On the basis of siz
7) Microcomputer
 Microcomputer is also known as
a personal computer.
 It is a general-purpose computer
that is designed for individual
use.
 It has a microprocessor as a
central processing unit, memory,
storage area, input unit and
output unit.
On the basis of siz
8.) Workstation
It is a single user computer
that is designed for technical
or scientific applications.
It has a faster
microprocessor, a large
amount of RAM and high
speed graphic adapters.
