It is difficult to answer this non-specific question accurately. One answer may be that the largest kind of computer would be a neural network, which is a series of computers linked together and able to communicate and process together in that same sort of way that your brain cells may communicate with each other - in this configuration there is no technical limit on 'size'. Another answer maybe regarding the physical size of an individual computer, or the largest computing capacity of a computer. Today's modern super computers such as made by Sun, Cray and Fujitsu will soon be out paced by the computing capacity of much smaller devices. Perhaps the largest computer complex will be the new Googleplex which is rumored to take up the size of two football fields.

What kind of computer were used in the 1950 or 1960?
bick computers :)
Compare scientific computers to large business computers?
scientific computers can be any computer that can record data, usually large business computers are data transferring and data storage computers, unless your talking about office workers, then that's a different story. scientific computer are mostly used to crucnch data information as mathematics and formulas. Large or main frame comuters are to collect data and storage of data.
Is laptop computer a type of analog computer?
No, a laptop is a kind of digital computer. Analogue computers used operational amplifiers in feedback loops to simulate dynamic systems such as aircraft. They began to be replaced by digital computers in the 1960s
What computers would be used in a large corporation to complete huge processing needs in airline reservations?
Super computer.
What technology areas best classifies the computer?
Size and Function: Supercomputers: Extremely large and powerful computers used for extremely complicated activities such as scientific simulations. Mainframes are large computers used for critical business activities including managing large amounts of data. Personal computers are regular computers that you use at home or at work, such as laptops and desktop computers. Performance: High-Performance Computers: Extremely fast computers that are employed in science and engineering. General-Purpose Computers: Standard computers that can do a variety of tasks. Computers placed within other equipment, such as vehicles or appliances, to make them smart. RISC vs. CISC architecture: Differences in how computers perceive and execute instructions. Von Neumann vs. Harvard Architecture: Two ways to structuring a computer's inner workings. These categories help us understand what kind of jobs a computer is capable of and how it is constructed on the inside.
What computers are used for central storage and process large amounts of data?
A Mainframe OR A Super computer
What computers are used in computer graphics?
The GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), also referred to as the "Graphics Card" or "Video Card" is what processes computer graphics. This is a component in a computer. Computers meant to process this type of data usually contain powerful GPUs and are referred to as "Workstations". They usually contain a large amount of RAM and a large, or sometimes multiple large hard drives.
Why is it important for a large organization to have uninterruptable power supply unit and a surge protector in each of its computer systems?
Large organisations have network of computers and servers with large data being used and exchanged continously. A server or computer can be crashed if power goes abruptly. Hence it is necessary to keep Network, computers and servers on UPS
What is the use of computer in reaserch?
Computers are mainly used for complex computations and simulations, but they are also often used for data collection and to analyze large quantities of data.
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.
How can you use the computer in the field of education?
Computers are being used to teach people how to use computers. Computer are being used to teach biology. Computers are being used to teach people how to learn the alphabet
What kind of computer does Nathan Kress have?
They weren't allowed to use Apple computers, (for franchising reasons) so they used a 'Pear' computer. (Eg: Pear logo instead of an apple)
