TYPE - TYPE OF COMPUTER
Welcome to the
Science Lovers, a simple blog to share it with sincerity. This time we will
discuss about the type Types of Computers, May knowledge can be beneficial.
Straight to !
Judging from some of
the things, the computer has a separate group in the distribution of species.
There are computers grouped by generation, the workings, usage, and memory
capacity based on physical size. Here's a brief explanation:
1.
Computer based data processed
a. Analog computer
Analog computer is a
computer that works continuously, used to receive analog signals that are
continuous wave-shaped and not shaped figure, and does not require an
intermediate language. This computer is used to represent a state. Examples
seismographs which record waves that spread beneath the earth's surface
continuously.
b. Digital computer
Digital computer is
a computer that receives the digital data in the form of numbers or letters.
Its function is to process the quantitative data in the form of numbers,
letters, punctuation and others. Digital computer typically used in business
applications and application techniques.
c. Hybrid computer
This kind of
computer can receive and process data quantitatively and qualitatively.
Computers can also dikatakn hybrid combination of analog and digital computers.
This kind of computer use in the hospital and used to check the state of the
patient's body that produce the analysis in a short time.
2.
Computer based usage
a. Computers for
special purposes (Special Purpose Computer)
This computer is
designed to solve a specific problem or a single issue. The computer can be
either digital or analog. Once special purpose computer programmed for a
specific problem that it can not be used for other things without being changed
again. Examples SPC is used to simulate the interaction of a particle system.
b. General-purpose
computer (General Purpose Computer)
The computer is
designed for solving a lot of things for public use, can use different programs
in one computer. Examples of personal computers.
3.
Computer based on memory capacity and size
The size of the
computer is shown by its ability to process data such as main memory capacity,
the configuration of the operand register, process speed, number and kinds of
equipment inputs and outputs, and the physical size of the computer and the
room needed.
a. Microcomputer
(Micro Computer)
Computer with a
microprocessor as its main control center. This computer is mainly used for
single user can also be called a desktop computer or a personal computer.
Microcomputer memory size ranges from 16 MB to over 128 MB. Users yanag very
popular at home or for running business applications.
b. Minicomputer
(Mini computer)
Mini computers can
be multi user has several terminals which can be shared by many users. Mini
computer is the first computer that is applied to the production process
control applications, research laboratories and data communications.
c. Small computer (Small
computer)
Small computers
called small-scale mainframe computer, mostly using a system of
multi-programming, multi-process and virtual storage with the number of
terminals up to hundreds.
d. Intermediate
computer (Middle computer)
Computer medium called
medium-scale mainframe computer. Intermediate computer typically used for data
communication with hundreds of terminals that is separate from the computer
center. Its center using a secondary computer and the terminal using a
mini-computer or micro namely application of the concept of Distribution Data Processing (DDP),
which may be associated with the terminal in addition to a central computer,
but can also stand alone.
e. Large computers
(Large computer)
These computers also
called mainframe computer mainframe computer or a large scale because of great
physical shape such as a closet. Mainframe computers have speeds up to 400
MIPS. Large companies often use. Hundreds of users can operate her computer at
the same time.
f. Super computer
(Supercomputer)
This computer is
also called parallel processors and a powerful computer or extraordinary.
Applications that are used are usually more inclined to scientific research.
Computers typically have multiple processors in parallel at the same time to
carry out their duties. Commonly used for processing large data, such as
census, consument statistic and industry, Enterprise Resource Planning, scientific risel.
4. The
computer is based on the physical size and shape.
a. Tower (tower)
Usually placed
beside or under the desk, because the large size so that it meets the table.
These computers usually have a lot of space in it and many have expansion slots
(place an additional card).
b. Desktop (table)
Computers that are
slightly smaller than the size of the tower but it is usually placed on the
table. Cheap price allows many people use computers than other forms.
c. Portable
This computer is
slightly smaller than the desktop, because Baian-baiannya can be assembled into
a single box, making it easy to carry anywhere. This computer is intended for
users who are often on duty in the field. These computers are not popular
because it is relatively large and heavy.
d. Notebook
Computer the size of
a book. Thickness ranges from 1 to 1 and a half inches tall and weighs between
4 to 6.
e. Subnotebook
The mid-size laptop
between notebook with palmlaptop. The size is slightly smaller than a notebook
because there is a device that is not owned by a sub notebook which is a disk
drive.
f. Palmtop
Handheld computers,
this one is very small and is often called Handheld PC. This computer does not
require electricity but regular small battery. The disadvantage is too small as
to make it difficult for users
5. Based
on the development of hardware
1. The first generation (Colossus, Marki, ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC I)
2. The second generation (Strech and LARC)
3. The third generation (using transistor)
4. The fourth generation (using ICs)
5. Fifth generation
6. Based
on software development
a. Era Pioner
In this era, the
software integrated with the hardware. The use of computers is done directly
and the results were completed in the form of computer print out. Examples
ENIAC.
b. Era Stable
In this era known
database system that separates the program data.
c. Micro Era
The software can be
divided into system software in charge of internal and application software
that is used directly by the user for specific purposes.
d. Modern Era
Not only computers,
other equipment to the washing machine and microwave has embedded software
systems to manage its operation. The level of intelligence of the software was
demonstrated by software more and more and started to get to know the sound and
image.
