 Different Types of Computers

Computers of the earlier years were of the size of a large room and were
required to consume huge amounts of electric power. However, with the advancing
technology, computers have shrunk to the size of a small watch. Depending on the
processing power and size of computers, they have been classified under various
types. Let us look at the classification of computers.

Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as

analog, digital and hybrid computers.

Analog Computers: These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital
computer because an analog computer can perform several
mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses continuous
variables for mathematical operations and utilizes mechanical or
electrical energy.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9d/46/44/9d46447417b570b9fd15598b8454210b.gif

Digital Computers: They use digital circuits and are designed to operate on two
states, namely bits 0 and 1. They are analogous to states ON and OFF. Data on
these computers is represented as a series of 0s and 1s. Digital computers are
suitable for complex computation and have higher processing speeds. They are
programmable. Digital computers are either general purpose computers or special
purpose ones. Special purpose computers, as their name
suggests, are designed for specific types of data processing while
general purpose computers are meant for general use.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQOVs-sQzgN6g1_GHBynN3ZkbaV4KBv4ChjhA&usqp=CAU

Hybrid Computers: These computers are a combination of both

digital and analog computers. In this type of computers, the digital
segments perform process control by conversion of analog signals to
digital ones.

 Classification of Computers

The following are the classification of the different types of computers based
on their sizes and functionalities:

Mainframe Computers: Large organizations use mainframes for highly critical

applications such as bulk data processing and ERP. Most of the
mainframe computers have the capacities to host multiple
operating systems and operate as a number of virtual machines
and can substitute for several small servers.

https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-090acaac3e389fb1f19d10b30ed1b9c1

Servers: They are computers designed to provide services to client machines in a

computer network. They have larger storage capacities and powerful
processors. Running on them are programs that serve client requests
and allocate resources like memory and time to client machines. Usually
they are very large in size, as they have large processors and many hard
drives. They are designed to be fail-safe and resistant to crash.

design/product_images/dell_enterprise_products/enterprise_systems/poweredge/poweredge_t330/global_spi/servers-poweredge-t330-left-hero-685x350-ng.psd?fmt=png-alpha

Supercomputers: The highly calculation-intensive tasks can be effectively

performed by means of supercomputers. Quantum physics, mechanics, weather
forecasting, molecular theory are best studied by means of
supercomputers. Their ability of parallel processing and their
well-designed memory hierarchy give the supercomputers,
large transaction processing powers.

Blc

Microcomputers: A computer with a microprocessor and its central processing unit

it is known as a microcomputer. They do not occupy space as much as mainframes
do. When supplemented with a keyboard and a mouse, microcomputers can be
called personal computers. A monitor, a keyboard and other similar input output
devices, computer memory in the form of RAM and a power supply unit come
packaged in a microcomputer. These computers can fit on desks or tables and prove
to be the best choice for single-user tasks.

LU_Q1_CSS10_Module2 5
 Personal computers come in different forms such as desktops, laptops and
personal digital assistants. Let us look at each of these types of computers.

Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. The spare

parts of a desktop computer are readily available at relatively lower
costs. Power consumption is not as critical as that in laptops.
Desktops are widely popular for daily use in the workplace and
households.
https://5.imimg.com/data5/RV/GE/MY-2587876/computer-desktop-500x500.jpg

Laptops: Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are

miniaturized and optimized for mobile use. Laptops run on a
single battery or an external adapter that charges the computer
batteries.

Netbooks: They fall in the category of laptops, but are

inexpensive and relatively smaller in size. They had a smaller
feature set and lesser capacities in comparison to regular
laptops, at the time they came into the market.
https://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/archive/images/article/magazine/1703/mf_netbooks2_f.jpg

Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs): It is a handheld computer and popularly

known as a palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data.
PDAs can also be used as portable audio players, web browsers and
smart phones. Most of them can access the Internet by means of
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication.

Tablet Computers: Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to
use. They use the touch screen technology. Tablets come with an onscreen
keyboard or use a stylus or a digital pen. Apple's iPod redefined the class
of tablet computers.

https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/digital-drawing-tablet-contour-illustration-computer-graphics-device-isolated-vector-clipart-portable-gadget-designer-artist-143356502.jpg

Wearable Computers: A record-setting step in the evolution of

computers was the creation of wearable computers. These computers can be
worn on the body and are often used in the study of behavior modeling and
human health. Military and health professionals have incorporated wearable
computers into their daily routine, as a part of such studies. When the users'
hands and sensory organs are engaged in other activities, wearable
computers are of great help in tracking human actions.
Wearable computers do not have to be turned on and off
and remain in operation without user intervention.

 Basic Hardware Components of Computer System

A computer is an electronic machine, operating under the control of

instructions stored in its own memory, that can be programmed to accept data
(input), process it into useful information (output), and store it away in a secondary
storage device (store) for safekeeping or later reuse. The processing of input into
output is directed by the software but performed by the hardware.

Computer system hardware components include devices that perform the

functions of input, processing, data storage; output and communication. The
devices responsible for these five areas are as follows:
Input devices. Input devices allow you to enter data or commands in a form
that the computer can use; they send the data or commands to the processing unit.
Commonly used input devices include keyboard, mouse, microphone, scanner,
digital camera, and PC camera.
Output devices. Output devices show people the processed data--
information --in understandable and useful form. Four commonly used output
devices are printer, monitor, speakers, and a portable media player. Input/output
devices are playing an increasingly significant role in our lives. The number and
variety of input/output devices are expanding.
Processing devices. Processing devices are the computer electronic circuitry
housed in the system unit. The processor, formally known as the central processing
unit (CPU), has electronic circuitry that manipulates input data into the information
people want. Computer instructions are actually are executed in the central
processing unit. Memory is a series of electronic elements that temporarily holds
data and program instructions while they are being processed by the CPU. Both the
processor and memory consist of chips. A chip is an electronic device that contains
many microscopic pathways designed to carry electrical current.
Storage devices. Storage usually means secondary storage that can store
data and programs outside the computer itself. Storage devices hold data,
information, and programs permanently. Common storage devices include a hard
disk, USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, and memory cards.
Communications devices. Communications devices provide connections
between the computer and communications networks, and enable computer users
to communicate and to exchange data, information, and programs with other
computers. Communications devices transmit these items over transmission media
such as cables, telephone lines, satellites, and cellular radio. A widely used
communications device is a modem.
In summary, we communicate with computers through input/output devices.
Input devices translate our data and communications into a form that the computer
can understand. The computer then processes these data, and an output device
translates them back into a form we can understand. The central processing unit
manipulates data and controls the other parts of the computer system. Memory
(primary storage) temporarily stores data and program instructions during
processing, while secondary storage feeds data and instructions into the central
processor and stores data for future use.

LU_Q1_CSS10_Module2 7
 Computer Hardware Components

Motherboard: The motherboard is the computer's central communications

backbone connectivity point through which all components and
external peripherals connect. The motherboard is the main printed
circuit board in a computer. Also called the mainboard, the
motherboard holds important components, including the CPU,
RAM, power supply, graphics card and sound card.
https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/computer-motherboard-gm471219158-62989839

CPU: The CPU (central processing unit) is responsible for

processing most of the computer's data, turning input into
output.

https://download.huawei.com/mdl/imgDownload?uuid=ce32bf6f54a541109becc1694aab1c4

RAM: The hardware in a computer where the OS, application programs and data
that are being used are kept so the device's processor can quickly reach them. As
the main memory of a computer, RAM (Random Access Memory) is much faster to
read from and write to than other types of storage,
including a hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD)
and optical drive. RAM is volatile, meaning that data
remains in RAM if the computer is on, but it's lost when
the computer is turned off. The OS and other files are
reloaded into RAM, usually from an SSD or HDD, when
the computer is rebooted.
https://media.istockphoto.com/vectors/computer-random-access-memory-vector-id470367658

Display screen/Touchscreen: A display screen may be an external

monitor, or it may be built into the computer. A touchscreen display
is sensitive to pressure. As such, a user interacts with the device by
touching pictures or words on the screen.

https://previews.123rf.com/images/taesmileland/taesmileland1302/taesmileland130200018/21082878-hand-touch-screen-on-tablet-pc.jpg

HDD: A nonvolatile memory (NVM) hardware device, an HDD

(hard disk drive) stores OS files, application problems, media and
other documents. The HDD can store data permanently even in
the event of a power failure.

http://www.drawingskill.com/wp-content/uploads/1/Hard-Disk-Pic-Drawing.jpg

SSD: A type of nonvolatile storage device that stores persistent data on solid-state
flash memory. An SSD (solid state drive) consists of a flash controller and NAND
flash memory Unlike an HDD, an SSD doesn't have any moving parts. SSDs use
flash-based memory, which is significantly faster than
traditional mechanical hard disks. Since they're
nonmechanical, SSDs use less power, which means
longer battery life when they're built into laptop
computers.

 https://www.laptoponbudget.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/SSD-VS-HDD.jpg

Comparative illustration inside the SSD & HDD

Graphics card: Responsible for rendering graphics in

a computer and projecting information onto a screen, a
graphics card aims to remove the processing strain from the
processor or RAM.

https://cdn4.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/27/73/gpu-card-outline-vector-25522773.jpg

Power supply unit: The power supply converts the power from the outlet into
usable power for the other components inside the
computer. Typically, more power is needed to run more
complex systems. For example, a desktop computer with
a high-end motherboard, a custom liquid cooling loop
and dual GPUs will need a higher wattage computer
power supply than a system that is not so complex.

Memory and Storage Sizes

While performing a processing operation, a processor needs a place to
temporarily store instructions to be executed and the data to be used with those
instructions. Memory is also known as primary storage or internal storage. This role
of memory to store both data and programs is known as the stored program concept.
The size of memory is measured by the number of bytes available for use. A kilobyte
of memory is equal to exactly 1,024 bytes. To make storage definitions easier to
identify, computer users often round a kilobyte down to 1,000 bytes. A megabyte
(MB) is equal to approximately 1 million bytes. A gigabyte (GB) equals approximately
1 billion bytes. A terabyte (TB) is equal to approximately 1 trillion bytes.

https://www.mrdfinch.com/uploads/2/4/0/6/24069972/annotation-2019-08-30 161331_orig.png

LU_Q1_CSS10_Module2 9
 The system unit contains two types of memory: volatile and nonvolatile. The
contents of volatile memory are lost when the computer power is turned off. In
nonvolatile memory, the combination of circuit states is fixed, and therefore the
contents of nonvolatile memory are not lost when power is removed from the
computer.
Computer Peripherals
A peripheral device, also sometimes called an auxiliary device, is any
connected device, internal or external, that provides a computer with additional
functionality.

Common Computer Peripherals

1. Mouse
A mouse is an input device that uses "point and click" technology
to interact with a computer. Modern mice usually have two buttons,
the left button and right button, with a scroll wheel in between the
two. The device was named a "mouse" because the inventors
thought that the wire that connects the device to the computer
resembled a mouse tail. Nowadays, mice often connect to the
computer using wireless technology.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61z1TtcmFsL._AC_SX425_.jpg

2. Keyboard
Keyboards are the most common input device. The user enters letters, numbers, and
other symbols to give the computer with information and instruction. Using a
keyboard to enter a lot of information is called typing. The
keyboard works through push buttons or mechanical switches,
known as "keys", being pressed, and the resulting signal being
sent to the computer. In the past, keyboards used to connect to
the computer via a DIN connector, but nowadays they are more
likely to connect via a USB port, or be wireless.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81PLqxtrJ3L._SL1500_.jpg

3. Webcam
These input devices are video cameras that connect to a computer. They can be
external or built-in. Webcams are most often used to enable people to see each other
when communicating over the internet, or for recording video blogs,
or other videos. As well as computers, webcams can also be built into
mobile phones. The first webcam was developed in 1991 at the
University of Cambridge and pointed at a coffee pot so that
researchers from around the Computer Science Department wouldn’t
make a journey, only to discover it was empty.
https://static5.depositphotos.com/1003198/535/v/950/depositphotos_5356046-stock-illustration-webcam.jpg

4. Microphone
Microphones are audio input devices. The microphone feeds a sound signal to the
computer, where it can be recorded, or streamed across the internet. Microphones
are often built into laptops, webcams and mobile phones nowadays. The
earliest microphones were telephone transmitters invented in the latter
half of the 19th century. Various designs were tried, but the first to
have reasonable sound quality were (loose-contact) carbon
microphones that were developed independently by David Edward
Hughes in England, and Emile Berliner and Thomas Edison in the US.

LU_Q1_CSS10_Module2 10
5. Monitor
The most common output device, monitors enable users to interact with a computer
more easily. The monitor essentially displays a signal sent by the computer in a
visual format. Monitors look similar to televisions in outward
appearance, but typically have a higher display resolution than
televisions, enabling greater visual detail, plus they lack a tuner to
change channels. As with televisions, modern computer monitors use
flat screen technology and have fallen in price in recent years.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnetcontent.com%2F65%2Fa3%2F65a3705c-4eb2-46f2-88bf-

6. Speakers
A computer speaker is another common type of output device. They typically come
in pairs to provide stereo sound and sometimes with a subwoofer unit too in order
to enhance bass frequency. Computer speakers usually have built-in amplifiers and
therefore require a power supply, either from the mains, batteries, or
via a USB port. In the past, speakers normally received their audio
signal via a 3.5 mm jack plug, but it's increasingly common
nowadays for computer speakers to be wireless and use Bluetooth
technology. Altec Lansing claim to have produced the first
commercially available computer speakers in 1990.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcS1CQLNJI6oA8lxAgJE0FKJSZ-M9lIRXP7bwg&usqp=CAU

7. Projector
Projectors are optical output devices that enable a roomful of people to see visuals
generated by a single computer. As their name suggests, projectors "project" still or
moving images onto a screen, blank wall, or other surface. Digital projectors first
came onto the market in the early 2000's and have now almost
completely replaced older, pre-digital models. They are typically
used for presentations, watching movies, or as a teaching aid,
and usually connect to the computer via the HDMI port.

main/image.img.jpg/1474402580786.jpg

8. Printer
Printers are another common form of output device. They are used to generate hard
copies of electronic data stored on a computer, most often text or images onto paper.
The first electronic printer to be invented was the EP-101, released
by the Japanese company Epson in 1968. Inkjet and laser printers
are two of the most common types of printer found today, with
modern printers connecting to the computer via the USB port or WI-
FI. The rise of other technologies such as email and data storage
devices have somewhat diminished the importance of printers in
recent years.
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7e/92/d0/7e92d0a062358288f739537b5d74bc43.jpg

9. USB Flash Drive

Also called a thumb drive, gig stick, flash stick, pen drive, USB stick, jump drive,
flash-drive, memory stick, or USB memory, the USB flash drive is a data storage
device that consists of flash memory with an integrated USB interface. Small and
light, USB storage drives are usually removable and rewritable.
Since their appearance in the year 2000, these storage devices have
gradually increased their storage capacity, while falling in price.
They are commonly used for transporting and transferring
information and are durable, thanks to a lack of moving parts.

LU_Q1_CSS10_Module2 11
10. External Hard Drive
External hard drives are input/output storage devices that usually connect to a
computer via USB. They hold relatively large amounts of data and plug and play drive
functionality enables them to be easily used with a variety of
different computers. There are two categories of external hard
drives: portable and desktop. Portable external drives are more
compact, usually powered by USB and designed for
transportation, whereas the desktop version is usually larger
and needs external power bricks for power.
https://www.minitool.com/images/uploads/lib/2019/06/external-hard-disk/external-hard-disk-1.png

Ports and Connectors

Serial port is a type of interface that connects

a device to the system unit by transmitting
data one bit at a time.
Parallel ports allow the parallel transmission
of data; that is, several bits are transmitted
simultaneously.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports are used in
high-speed device interfaces.
FireWire ports, also called IEEE 1394 port,
are similar to the USB port and can connect
multiple types of devices.
