Classification of Computer
SHARE

Hello, brothers and sisters. How are you? Hope everything is good. Welcome to my website. Today I will show you the classification of computers, and on which basis we can classify the laptop. Computer technology is the most popular development in the world. So we should have a vast knowledge of computer technology.

Table of content

This article provides educational and training purposes for every student, computer user, engineer, scientist, banker, business, school, college, etc. So that kind of people should know about computer technology.

This article will you find out the classification of the computer. Computer technology is used in every sector there are different types of computers. So today I will explain the classification of computers on different bases.

Let’s go

In this article, the following points will be included as details:

Introduction of classification of the computer.

The classification of the digital computer is based on size.

Classification of computers based on the data handling capacity of the computer.

These are the main topics we will go to learn in this article.

General Introduction 

According to the history of computers. The computer maker is large and in shape. But in the present period, different sizes and shapes of Computers are available in the market.

Computer technology is fulfilled by the use of computer technology in the different sizes of the computer. So the computer is classified in different categories with a different basis.

Which type of computer is designed for the single user which type of computer is designed for people users?

You can use that type of computer which is your requirement. The laptop is preferred for your hand and the desktop is preferred on your home basis. The single-user computer is handled by a single person and the multi-user computer is handled by two or more people. So that is the category of computer for a different person.

The computer is classified based on its size and shape, using purpose, economics, working principles, etc. But I can explain the above point in this article.

The classification of the digital computer based on size

First of all, I can classify it as a digital computer based on size and shape. Different sizes of digital computers are available in the world. That kind of computer is classified as a digital computer.

Supercomputer

Supercomputers are the largest, fastest, and most expensive computers.

They have a large memory capacity.

They have very high processing speeds and power for solving scientific and engineering problems.

The supper computer contains several CPUs.

This type of computer is used in astronomy as well as in the design of automobile robots.

NEC-500 is the supercomputer.

Mainframe Computer

This computer is the most powerful and largest.

This computer size is up to 10, 000 sq feet.

This type of computer is designed to handle a large volume of data.

This type of computer consists of one or more processors to process a large volume of data.

It can control several workstations or computer network systems.

This type of computer is used by large business houses to control higher network systems.

IBM 4381 is the mainframe computer.

Minicomputer

This is the type of microdigital computer as compared to mainframe and supercomputer.

This can handle less data as compared to the other above.

This computer size is 10 sq feet.

This computer is designed to compute small-size business sectors. It is fulfilling for that person to require this type of computer to operate their small business.

This is used in various sectors such as business, industry, research, railway networks, and education sectors.

IBM 9375 is a mini-computer.

Microcomputer

This is the smallest computer in computer technology.

The microprocessor is used as a CPU in the microcomputer. So that is called a microcomputer.

The microcomputer is used in the home to operate small businesses and schools to provide better knowledge of the computer.

Apple, Compaq, and IBM are some company that manufactures this type of computer. Microcomputers include desktop, laptop Mobile, etc.

Second, we will learn about classification based on data handling capacity. In this case, the different capacities to handled by the computer. In this period all the computers cannot handle the same capacity of data. Different data handling capacity computers are available. So this is the classification of the basis of data handling capacity.

Classification of computers based on the data handling capacity

Analog Computer

An Analog computer is a type of computer that measures physical quantities such as pressure and temperature and converts them into numeric values.

They are designated for special purpose machines, which are used for scientific and engineering purposes.

It is easy to get graphical data using an analog computer.

The accuracy is less than others.

The thermometer and speedometer of vehicles is an analog computer.

Digital computer

A digital computer is the most popular computer.

They work with digits and also represent numerals, letters, or other special symbols.

The digital computer works based on the binary number system. Which is 0 and 1.

The information is given to the computer in the form of electrical signals.

This type of computer is used in schools, colleges, banks, etc.

Most of the present time use this type of computer.

Hybrid Computer

A hybrid computer is a combination of analog and digital computers.

Both features are included in this computer.

This is also called a converter computer. Because of this computers are performing convert analog signals to digital and digital to analog.

This type of computer is used in engineering, medical, scientific research, etc.

So friends this is the classification of computers on different bases. Such as size and shape and data handling capacity. After visiting this page you can able to classified different types of computers into different categories. Love this article for you.

How was this knowledge about the classification of computers? If you like this article please feedback me by the comment. visit the blog for more information gathering.

“Thank you guys love you all, keep loving keep supporting me “
