CLASSIFICATONS OF COMPUTERS
A computer is machine that may be configured to automatically perform
arithmetic or logical functions. Modern computers can even conduct
programs, which are generic sets of procedures that allow computers to
accomplish a wide range of activities.
A computer system will become proper computer that include the hardware,
operating systems, and peripheral equipment required for “Full
functioning.”
Computers also played a control systems roll in a wide range of industrials
and consumer products, where there is one example of “MICROWAVE
OVENS” in consumer products. And factory devisces such as robots and
computer-aided design and personal computers are mobile devices such as
smartphones.
CLASSIFICATONS
1. Computers based on their size and portability.
2. Computers based on their functionability.
3. Computers based on their usage.
1. Computers based on their size and portability.

4. SUPER COMPUTERS
The super computers are the most high performing system. A

supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance
compared to a general-purpose computer.
The actual Performance of a supercomputer is measured in
FLOPS instead of MIPS. All of the world’s fastest 500
supercomputers run Linux-based operating systems.
Additional research is being conducted in China, the US,
the EU,
Taiwan and Japan to build even faster, more high
performing and more technologically superior
supercomputers.
2. MAINFRAME COMPUTERS
These are commonly called as big iron, they are usually used by
big organisations for bulk data processing such as statistics,
census data processing, transaction processing and are widely
used as the servers as these systems has a higher processing
capability as compared to the other classes of computers, most of
these mainframe architectures were established in 1960s, the
research and development worked continuously over the years
and the mainframes of today are far more better than the earlier
ones, in size, capacity and efficiency.
3. MINI COMPUTERS
These computers came into the market in mid 1960s and were
sold at a much cheaper price than the main frames, they were
actually designed for control, instrumentation, human
interaction, and communication switching as distinct from
calculation and record keeping, later they became very popular
for personal uses with evolution.
In the 60s to describe the smaller computers that became
possible with the use of transistors and core memory
technologies, minimal instructions sets and less expensive
peripherals such as the ubiquitous Teletype Model 33 ASR. They
usually took up one or a few inch rack cabinets, compared with
the large mainframes that could fill a room, there was a new
term “MINICOMPUTERS” coined
Eg: Personal Laptop, PC etc.
4. MICRO COMPUTERS
A microcomputer is a small, relatively inexpensive computer with

a microprocessor as its CPU. It includes a microprocessor, memory,
and minimal I/O circuitry mounted on a single printed circuit board.
2. Computers based on their functionability.
1. SERVERS
Servers are nothing but dedicated computers which are set-up to
offer some services to the clients. They are named depending on the
type of service they offered.
Eg: security server, database server.
2. WORKSTATION
Those are the computers designed to primarily to be used by single
user at a time.
They run multi-user operating systems.
They are the ones which we use for our day to day personal /
commercial work.
3. INFORMATION APPLIANCES
They are the portable devices which are designed to perform a
limited set of tasks like basic calculations, playing multimedia,
browsing internet etc.
They are generally referred as the mobile devices. They have
very limited memory and flexibility and generally run on “as-is”
basis.
4. EMBEDDED COMPUTERS
They are the computing devices which are used in other machines to
serve limited set of requirements.
They follow instructions from the non-volatile memory and they are
not required to execute reboot or reset.
The processing units used in such device work to those basic
requirements only and are different from the ones that are used in
personal computers- better known as workstations.
3.Computers basis of data handling.
1. ANALOG
An analog computer is a form of computer that uses the
continuously-changeable aspects of physical fact such as electrical,
mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved.
Anything that is variable with respect to time and continuous can
be claimed as analog just like an analog clock measures time by means
of the distance traveled for the spokes of the clock around the circular
dial.
2. DIGITAL
A computer that performs calculations and logical operations

with quantities represented as digits, usually in the binary
number system of “0” and “1”
Computer capable of solving problems by processing information
expressed in discrete form. from manipulation of the
combinations of the binary digits, it can perform mathematical
calculations, organize and analyze data, control industrial and
other processes, and simulate dynamic systems such as global
weather patterns.
3. HYBRID
A computer that processes both analog and digital data, Hybrid
computer is a digital computer that accepts analog signals, converts
them to digital and processes them in digital form.
