LS6DL-DC-PSA-AE/LS/AS-6 Background Information for Learners Computer is an electronic device to perform mathematical and logical calculations. Computers can be classified in various ways depending upon its size, memory capacity, processing speed etc. Computers are classified into four categories; 1. Supercomputer 2. Mainframe computer 3. Minicomputer 4. Microcomputer Classification of Computers Supercomputer Supercomputers are computers that performs at or near the currently highest operational rate for computers. Traditionally, supercomputers have been used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a great amount of computation. They are https://www.google.com/search?q=supercomputer+picture&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwip3635yPTqAhX7xosBHXPdBPAQ2 -cCegQIABAA#imgrc=CG-BUXbx8nQMuM
- 4. very expensive, very fast, and the most powerful computers we have in the world. These computers are very large in size due to the numerous parts and components involves in their design. They are huge computers installed in space centers, nuclear power, station etc. They are used for performing complex mathematical calculations. Only scientists and mathematicians can operate them. They are having huge memories and tremendous processing speed. They are used for weather forecasting, animation graphics etc. Mainframe Computer These are large and expensive computer types capable of supporting hundreds or even thousands, of user simultaneously. Thus, they are mostly used by governments and large organizations transaction processing, census, industry, and consumer statistics among others. They are ranked below supercomputers. They are big computer systems sensitive to temperature, humidity, dust etc. Qualified and trained operators are required to operate them. They have large storage capacity. They have wide range of peripherals attached. They can use wide variety of software. They are not user friendly. They can be used for more mathematical calculations. They are installed in large commercial places or government organization. Minicomputer https://www.google.com/search?q=mainframe+computer+picture&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjMpM2gyfTqAhVB6pQKHd24Aj0Q2 - cCegQIABAA&oq=mainframe+computer+picture&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDFDevwVYmoIGYImXBmgAcAB4AIABghmIAcpRkgEDOS00mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=i mg&ei=toYiX8zxMsHU0wTd8YroAw#imgrc=m8W430M3Vy42AM
- 5. Minicomputers are mid-sized computers. In terms of size and power, minicomputers are ranked below mainframes. A minicomputer is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously. They have lens memory and storage capacity than mainframe computers. They are offer limited range of peripherals. Limited range of software’s can be used. The end users can directly operate it. They are not very sensitive to the external environment and hence are more generalized. They are used for data processing. Microcomputer Microcomputers or personal computers are designed to use by one user at a time. The term microcomputer relates to the microprocessor which is used with a personal computer for the purpose of processing data and instruction codes. These are the most common computer types since they are not very expensive. They bought revolution in the history of computers. They are also known as personal computers. They are cheap and user friendly. The main components are monitor, CPU, keyboard, mouse, speakers, mode, and printer. They are having limited peripherals, attached to them. These types of computers can use wide range of software’s. They are used as desktops either in offices or even homes. They operation can be easily learnt. Playing games and watching movies. Most popular micro computer’s processing chip manufacturing company is intel. https://www.google.com/search?q=minicomputer+picture&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjf-OeGzPTqAhVOAKYKHeyyCs8Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq=minicomputer+picture&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQARgAMgIIADICCABQ- 7tUWJDHVGDV4lRoAHAAeACAAbwCiAHfDZIBBzAuMS41LjGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=pokiX9-NA86AmAXs5ar4DA#imgrc=B1GBjZhB0M7PUM https://turbofuture.com/computers/computer-types
