A hybrid computer is a type of computer that is no longer made. It contains two interconnected computers: a digital computer and an analog computer. In most hybrid computers, part of the analog computer's program is entered manually by plugwires on plugboards and part by the digital computer switching relays and setting digitally controlled pots. The digital computer program was entered from tape or disk.
Most of them were custom built systems generally used for control system simulation modeling. The analog computer was programmed to model an open loop real world system and the digital computer was programmed to control it and thereby close the loop. Some systems tested this way were:
- Nuclear Reactor control systems
- Aircraft flight control systems
- Chemical reaction control systems
- Industrial process control systems
- etc.
Another use of hybrid computers was high speed drawing of "stroke graphics" (dots, vectors, arcs) on random deflection high brightness CRT displays (another long gone technology).
The last hybrid computers I saw operating were in about 1986. Haven't heard of any made since then.

∙ 12y agoHybrid computers consist of analog and digital components, analog computers are extremely fast, but not accurate, while digital components are extremely precise, just not fast, so combining them you get the best of both worlds.

Is a Radar a hybrid computer?
Usually no. "Digital radars" convert the analog signal to digital, and use a digital computer to process it to understand what's happening out there. That's a hybrid system but not a hybrid computer. Some radars in the 1970s did part of the computing by analog methods. That was a hybrid computer.
What short notes on Hybrid computer?
Hybrid computers are the computers that have the features of both digital and analog computers.The idea behind this hybrid computers is to create a working unit that offers the best of both types of computer.it uses analog components for computational purposes and digital components for processing and storage of results.E.g; hybrid computers are used at the space launch system when sending astronauts in the space for scientific research and exploration.This computer measures the temperature,wind,speed,the humidity of the space and then translated these quantities into digital form for analysis and processing.
What is another advantage of using a computer-generater model of a car?
Analog computer Digital computer Hybrid computer Harvard architecture Von Neumann architecture Complex instruction set computer Reduced
Difference between analog and hybrid computer?
analog computers,continuous quantities are used. computation are carried out physical quantities such as voltage,length,current,temperature etc. the devices that measure such quantities are analog devices example voltmeter,ammeter.hybrid computer the best qualities of both the digital and analog computer. hybrid computers are best used in hospital. hybrid computers are also used in wheather forecasting.
Difference between hybrid and super computer?
Hybrid computers use alot less energy than super computers but do not run as well. usally hybrid computers are used as servers for they are capable of many things but are always running therefor more efficent
