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.


Micro-computer mainframe computer super computer?

micro computer is also known as personal computer... this type of computer available in our home...mainframe computer is very large storage computer. they can store very large amount of data.super computer is used in weather forecasting, in research fields, seismic modeling, nuclear weapon design, aircraft design, etc. super computer can do calculations at least 10 times faster than fastest available regular computer........... this is typically very costly....... yesterday's supercomputer is often out performed by today's computer and therefore new super computers must be designed and built that are at least 10 times faster than today's computer.........super micro computers are the super computers of the micro computers. though often used by the same users that use super computers, their main users are game players. their realistic 3D rendered action games require far more processing power than an ordinary micro computer has, but they could never afford a mainframe or super computer nor could they fit one in their house. high end dedicated game consoles usually contain a dedicated super micro computer!


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.
