- 2. LESSON 1.1: PLAN UNIT ASSEMBLY • Identify the different types of computer. • Classify the different types of computers according to various ways. • List the different types of computers. • Identify the different factors to consider in planning and designing a personal computer (PC). • Plan and design a personal computer. • Give importance with the essential components when designing a PC.
- 3. LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON: •Computers are often made from different parts. Listed below are the basic parts of computer. Match these parts with the correct image. Write the letter of your answer on the space provided.
- 6. A. Based on Principles of Operation: There are three different types of computers according to the structure, speed and architecture. Those three types of computers are: • Analog Computers •Digital Computers • Hybrid Computers
- 8. Types of Computers • Analog Computer is computing device that works on continuous range of values. The results given by the analog computers will only be approximate since they deal with quantities that vary continuously. It generally deals with physical variables such as pressure, temperature, speed, and voltages.
- 9. •Examples: • Thermometer – it measures the length of a mercury column continuously. • Traditional Clock – the needle of clock covers the distance
- 10. Types of Computers • Digital Computer operates on digital data such as numbers. It uses binary number system in which there are only two digits 0 and 1. Each one is called a bit. It can perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and logical operations. Digital computer can give more accurate and faster results and most of the computers available today are digital computers.
- 11. •Examples: •• Accounting machines •• Calculators
- 12. Types of Computers • Hybrid Computer combines the desirable features of analog and digital computers. It is mostly used for automatic operations of complicated physical process and machines. It has the speed of analog and the accuracy of digital computer.
- 13. •Examples: •• In the hospital’s ICU (Intensive Care Unit), analog quality controls the temperature of the room, digital quality informs the doctor about the patient’s temperature, blood pressure and other vital signs. •• Devices used in petrol pump.
- 14. B. Based on Configuration (Size and Capability) Computers are classified in various ways. First, they differ according to size and power. Computers can be supercomputers, mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers.
- 15. Supercomputers • Supercomputer is the largest and most powerful computers. It is also the most expensive because it is custom-made for the needs of governments and international groups and companies. • Supercomputers are used for very special purpose and engineering applications, including analyzing data from space probes, researching nuclear energy, creating weather maps and weather forecasting, and finding oil.
- 16. • Examples: • GRAPE (Gravity Pipe) – used for gravitational computations • Anton – used for studying molecular dynamics: • Cray XT5 – used for various applications that need great ability to process information. One of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.
- 17. Mainframe computers • Mainframe computer is a large computer that can process data at a very high rate of speed. It is mainly used by big businesses and companies to process and compute large, bulk amounts of data and handle millions of transactions.
- 18. •Examples: • Bank transactions • Census and consumer statistics • Airline ticketing • Large management and payroll needs
- 19. Minicomputer • Minicomputer is another type of multi-use machine that is smaller, less expensive and less powerful than mainframe. This is used in mid-range businesses and companies for their processing needs. Minicomputers have been replaced by network servers, which can also do multi-user and related applications.
- 20. Server • Server provides services to another computer program and its user, also known as the client. It is powerful than normal computers. Server hardware also differs from desktop hardware in terms of its form factor.
- 21. Microcomputer • Microcomputer is probably the most popular kind of computers. The invention of microprocessor (single chip CPU) gave birth to the much cheaper microcomputers.
