Computers can be classified,
i) According to size
ii) According to technology
According to size
i) Super computers
Super Computers These computers have higher computing power. They are large in size, expensive and rare. These are used for scientific and engineering functions and to solve complex mathematical problems. For example, these computers are used in institutes like NAZA, large scale businesses and for military purposes.
ii) Mainframe Computers
These ahave reletively less computing power and less expensive than the super computers. In mainframe computers, a number of users get connected to one computer using a number of terminals sharing, saving and retrieving data. These are used in large scale businesses and in e-business. This type of computers are used even today in some large commercial institutions.
iii) Mini Computers
These are slower, less powerful and less expensive than Mainframe computers and are also called common purpose computers. These are easy to use. A few users get connected to the central computer here through a few terminals to share data and information. Some banking systems use mini computers.
iv) Personal Computers/ Micro Computers
This is a small computer meant for personal use. This consists of a small memory capacity, is smaller in size, is less speedy and is less expensive. Further, this consumes little electricity. Laptop computers and personal computers are some examples for this category
According to technology
i) Analog Computers
These computers use analog signals such as environmental parameters (speed, pressure, and temperature). Speedometers, road lamps with sensors, meteorological machines can be given as examples.
ii) Digital Computers
The computers used in day-to-day life are called digital computers. These computers use digital signals, using electricity.
iii) Hybrid Computers
This is a combination of analog and digital computers. The ECG machine used in hospitals to check the function of the heart is an example for hybrid computers. This machine identifies the function of the heart beat which is an analog signal. Then it is converted to a digital signal and these converted signals are printed by this machine.
