    CLASSIFICATION

    OF
    COMPUTERS
    Prepared by: Nica Mae Payadyad
    BS AGRIBUSINESS lll
    The Classifications of the different types of
    computers based on their size and
    functionalities
    MAINFRAME COMPUTERS
    ✓Large organizations use mainframes for
    highly critical- applications such as bulk
    data processing and ERP. Most of the
    mainframe computers have the
    capacities to host multiple operating
    systems and operate as a number of
    virtual machines and can substitute for
    several small servers.
    MINI COMPUTERS
    ln terms of size and processing capacity, minicomputers lie in
    between mainframes and microcomputers. Minicomputers are
    also called mid-range systems or workstations.
    The term began to be popularly used in the 1960s to refer to
    relatively smaller third generation computers.
    SERVERS COMPUTERS
    They are computers designed to provide services to
    client machines in a computer network. They have
    larger storage capacities and powerful processors.
    Running on them are programs that serve client
    requests and allocate resources like memory and time
    to client machines. Usually, they are very large in size,
    as they have large processors and many hard drives.
    They are designed to be fail-safe and resistant to crash.
    SUPER COMPUTERS
    The highly calculation-intensive tasks can be effectively
    performed by means of supercomputers. Quantum physics,
    mechanics, weather forecasting, molecular theory are best
    studied by means of supercomputers. Their ability of parallel
    processing and their well-designed memory hierarchy give
    the supercomputers, large transaction processing powers.
    MICRO COMPUTERS
    A computer with a microprocessor and its central
    processing unit is known as a microcomputer. They do not
    occupy space as much as mainframes do. When
    supplemented with a keyboard and a mouse,
    microcomputers can be called personal computers.
    A monitor, a keyboard and other similar input-output
    devices, computer memory in the form of RAM and a
    power supply unit come packaged in a microcomputer.
    These computers can fit on desks or tables and prove to
    be the best choice for single-user tasks.
    PERSONAL COMPUTERS
    Desktops
    A desktop is intended to be used on a single location.
    The spare parts of a desktop computer are readily
    available at relatively lower costs. Power consumption
    is not as critical as that in laptops.
    Laptops
    Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are
    miniaturized and optimized for mobile use. Laptops run
    on a single battery or an external adapter that charges
    the computer batteries.
    Netbooks
    They fall in the category of laptops, but are inexpensive
    and relatively smaller in size. They had a smaller
    feature set and lesser capacities in comparison to
    regular laptops, at the time they came into the market.
    Personal Digital Assistants
    (PDA's)
    It is a handheld computer and popularly known as a
    palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for
    storage of data.
    Tablet Computers
    Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to
    use. They use touch screen technology. Tablets
    come with an onscreen keyboard or use a stylus or a
    digital pen.
    Wearable Computers
    A record-setting step in the evolution of computers was
    the creation of wearable computers. These computers
    can be worn on the body and are often used in the study
    of behavior modeling and human health.
