What are the difference of mainframe computers from the other mini computer?
Size.
What items would be used for centralized storage example notebok computers PDA's microcomputers or mainframe computers?
notebook computers
What are the mainframe capabilities?
Early mainframe computers had less capability than the computer used in your car's keyfob to lock/unlock the doors, etc. Mainframe computers of the 1960s had less capability than the most basic handheld electronic calculators sold today. Modern mainframe computers are very powerful and usually have capabilities comparable to several dozen high end gaming desktop computers. The capabilities of any computer varies proportional to the state of the art for the engineering used at the time it was built.
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.
Which is next technology after mainframe?
Computers, Which are technically superior to mainframe are called super computers.
What is the history of mainframe computers?
short history of mainframe
What is the memory of mainframe?
what is memorey capacity of the mainframe computers
What topology did Mainframe computers first use?
Mainframe computers first used star topology
What is the mainframe computers cost?
Mainframe computers are high-speed, multi-purpose machines that cost millions.
What are the brand of mainframe computers?
IBM
What are the example of mainframe computing?
IBM system 3 and AS-400 are some examples of minicomputers.
Which computers are used to receive data from satellites?
mini and mainframe computers
Is true mainframe computers are now obsolete?
no
Name a difference between a mainframe with terminals and a network of computers?
For a mainframe with terminals, data processing takes place on the mainframe computer only as the terminals are 'dumb'. Conversely, in a network of computers, each computer has its own processor.
Can Web servers function as mainframe computers?
yes
What kinds of mainframe jobs are there?
There are not a large number of mainframe jobs available at this time. Computer programmers will be around as long as there are computers. There are so many different brands of computers available.
