Mainframe systems use dumb terminals, a client/server environment uses intelligent terminals.
Cross-platform computing and distributed processing is supported in client/server architecture, but not possible in a mainframe.
There can be any numbers of servers and clients in a CSA, while mainframes work on the principle of the central server.
Contrast is the difference between the "empties" and the "fulls".

Art is drawing, sketching, painting, sculpture of any subject except buildings and spaces. Architecture is the design of buildings and spaces.
In the Von Neumann (not "von humann") architecture instructions and data share the same bus and address space, while in the Harvard architecture instructions and data are accessed through separate buses.
Ancient architecture was limited to what you could achieve with stone (and concrete). Modern architecture is limited by what you can achieve with steel, reinforced concrete and glass.
the difference is that the mainframe is bigger and more expensive.

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.

Windows 3.0 is a 16-bit architecture. Windows 7 is 32-bit architecture.
The pourpose: the mainframe is for processing large amounts of data, PC is for satisfy a human's various needs, like DVD-playing, word-processing, web-browsing.

Difference Between Software Architecture and Software DesignSoftware Architecture focuses more on the interaction between the externally visible components of the system where as the Design is about how the internal components of the system interact with each other.Software Architecture is more about what we want the system to do and and Design is about how we want to achieve that.Software architecture is at a higher level of abstraction than the Software Design.Software Architecture is concerned with issues beyond the data structures and algorithms used in the system.
