Classification of Computer

This document discusses different types of computers. It describes analog computers, which use continuous signals to measure physical quantities like temperature and pressure. Digital computers represent input as numbers and are used for logical and arithmetic operations. The document also outlines various types of digital computers based on their size and capabilities. Microcomputers are the smallest and include PCs and multi-user systems. Minicomputers are more powerful and useful for departmental and network systems. Mainframe computers offer faster processing and greater storage and are used as host and central database servers. The largest and most powerful are supercomputers, designed for scientific tasks like weather forecasting using parallel processing.

Analog computer
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

Analog computer
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 Computer
Micro computer 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 Computer
These are also 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.
Mini computer
Main Frame Computer
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 Computer
Super computer 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.
