- Discuss Four Classification Of Computers
1 week ago Supercomputers: These are the most powerful computers with high performance, often measured in FLOPS (Floating-point Operations Per Second). They are used for complex tasks like climate research, quantum mechanics, and cryptanalysis1.Mainframe Computers: Known as "big iron", these are used by large organizations for bulk data processing, such as census data, and as servers due to their high processing capability1.Minicomputers: Smaller than mainframes, minicomputers were initially designed for control and communication switching. They became popular for personal use over time and are now commonly referred to as mid-range computers1.Microcomputers: These include personal computers like desktops, laptops, and tablets. They are small, relatively inexpensive, and based on a microprocessor as their CPU1.
