Supercomputer
Supercomputer is a computer that led the world (or was close to doing so) in terms of processing capacity, particularly the speed of calculation, at the time of its introduction.
![Page 33: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mainframes• Handle very high volume input and output (I/O)
and emphasize throughout computing. • Used by large organizations
- for critical applications, typically bulk data processing, industry and consumer statistics, ERP, and financial transaction processing.)
![Page 34: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Mini Computer
• Minicomputer is a midsized computer. • It is an old term for a class of multi-user
computers, lies between the largest multi-user systems (mainframe computers) and the smallest single-user systems (microcomputers or personal computers).
![Page 35: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Microcomputer

Different Types of Computer
![Page 38: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PCThe personal computer (PC) defines a computer designed for general use by a single person.
![Page 39: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Desktop•A PC that is set up in a permanent location(not portable). •Most desktops offer more power, storage and versatility for less cost than their portable brethren.
![Page 40: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Laptop•Also called notebook. •Laptops are portable computers that integrate the display, keyboard, a pointing device or trackball, processor, memory and hard drive all in a battery-operated package slightly larger than an average hardcover book.
![Page 41: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Palmtop•More commonly known as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), palmtops are tightly integrated computers that often use flash memory instead of a hard drive for storage.•These computers usually do not have keyboards but rely on touchscreen technology for user input.
![Page 42: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

![Page 44: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Minicomputer•Another term rarely used nowadays. Minicomputers fall in between microcomputers (PCs) and mainframes (enterprise servers). •Minicomputers are normally referred to as mid-range servers now.
![Page 45: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mainframe •In the early days of computing, mainframes were huge computers that could fill an entire room or even a whole floor. •The size of computers has diminished while its power has increased, the term mainframe has fallen out of use in favor of enterprise server. •The huge machines processing millions of transactions every day.
![Page 46: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Supercomputer•This type of computer usually costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. •Although some supercomputers are single computer systems, most are comprised of multiple high performance computers working in parallel as a single system. •The best known supercomputers are built by Cray Supercomputers.
![Page 47: Lesson 02 : Evolution of the Computer Types of Computers Overview of the Computer System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649ef95503460f94c0b4ec/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Wearable•The latest trend in computing is wearable computers.•Essentially, common computer applications (e-mail, database, multimedia, calendar/scheduler) are integrated into watches, cell phones, visors and even clothing.
