Types of Computer

Types of Computer: Computer has been categorized in the following parts likewise…

·         Analog Computer

·         Digital Computer

·         Hybrid Computer

Analog Computer: Analog Computers are used mostly in Medical Sciences. This very kind of computers work on continuous data values, for e.g. if you have to calculate the pressure or something similar then kind of technology having will be useful.

Digital Computer: Digital Computers are the most commonly used computer on a digital technique which is widely used and preferred now –a-days. This kind of computers uses micro processor technology which is quite digital and able to calculate and execute million of instruction within a second. This also comes under kind of categories as can see downward…

1. Micro Computer: The processor is very small so that called Micro processer and device is called Micro Computer. Micro Computer is single user device example: Desktop, Laptop, Palmtop, Notebook, PDA etc.
2. Mini Computer: The processor of min Computer is small but larger than Micro processor. Mini Computers multi user device generally used in designing company for commercial use.
3. Mainframe Computer: It has larger processer and multiuser device. Number of users is more than Mini Computer. This is multiuser and multitasking device mostly used in Metrology.
4. Super Computer: The processor is biggest than other Computer and processing capacity is highest than other, devices. It is Multi user fastest calculating device, generally used in nuclear science for calculation purpose. CRAY-I is the first Super Computer. India’s First super computer is PARAM-10000.

Hybrid Computer: The kind of computer comes with both characteristics (digital and analog) are called hybrid. This is used there where it needs to calculate both the digital and analog data for e.g. In Hospitals.
