Supercomputers have multiple processing units. Making its speedunimaginably fast. It can even run a whole virtual world updating every giga-second.
A mainframe computer is similar only it is more slower and can run larger applications. Usually to huge amounts of data such as a census for every single house hold in the US. Otherwise, there is no difference.
What else can I help you with?
Which is next technology after mainframe?
Computers, Which are technically superior to mainframe are called super computers.
Who has the most memory storage?
mainframe computers or super domes..
What computers are used for central storage and process large amounts of data?
A Mainframe OR A Super computer
What are the 4 major categories of computers from smallest to largest?
Micro, Mini, Mainframe, and Super.
What are the four classification of computers?
MAINFRAME COMPUTERMINI-COMPUTERMICRO-COMPUTERSUPER-COMPUTERThere are many computers which are different from each other in various aspects. Classification of computers are given below.(1) Micro computers: These computers use a microprocessor chip and this chip is used instead of CPU means that this microprocessor chip works as a CPU.These computers are also called personal computers. Two major types of these computers are laptop or Desktop computers. Only one user uses these computers at time that's why they are also known as personal computers.(2) Mini Computers: These are powerful computer. These computers come into existence in 1960s at that time mainframe computer was very costly. Mini computers were available in cheap prices, so users start using it.(3) Mainframe Computer: It as a very powerful and large computer. You can get idea of its power as it can handle processing of many users at a time.Terminals are used to connect a user to this computer and users submit there task through mainframe. Terminal is a device which has keyboard and a screen. By using terminal users put inputs into the computer and get the output through screen.(4) Super Computers: As the name "super computer" specifies that these are most powerful computers even than mainframe. Actually, when we optimize a mainframe computer then we get super computer.(5) Microprocessor: You will find these computers everywhere. Microprocessor chips are used in many devices as I-pod, DVD, headphone etc.
Why do you still need mainframe computers even though personal computers and workstations have become very powerful?
Mainframe computers are immensely more powerful than standard PCs. They are usually fitted with massive hard-drives (many terabytes in capacity) - many megabytes of internal memory - and super-fast processors. Sometimes mainframe computers are networked together - providing huge amounts of computing power.
What are the features of mainframe computers?
The features of mainframe computers include main board, processor, RAM, ROM and hard drive among others. These are the parts that enable a computer to process data.
Why a super computer is the same as a mainframe computer?
It is not. The fastest super computers are typically much smaller physically than mainframe computers to keep signal paths short and processing speeds fast. A signal can not travel more than 1 foot in a wire in 1 nanosecond and modern super computers can do many many instructions in that time. Long wire runs limit the processing speed of any computer and must be avoided in super computers, they don't much matter in typical mainframes. Super computer designers often use extreme packaging technologies and cooling systems not used by other computers to do this.
What are the different types of computers?
Two distinct types of computers are laptops and desktops. There are many other types of computers under these two main categories.pc dektops laptops plamstop workstation sever main computer mini fram super wearable
What is the difference between a mini computer and main frame computer?
a main frame computer is a large-scale computers but a super computer are larger than mainframe while a mini computer is smaller in size, have lower processing speed and also have lower cost than mainframe computers.
Is it possible to upgrade a mainframe computer to a super computer?
was the mainframe designed for such an upgrade? that will determine yes or no.
What are the types of types of computers?
1. Super computer 2. Mainframe 3. Midrange 4. Mini 5. PC/Laptop 6. Special function (micro)
