INTRODUCTION
The term computer is derived from the word compute. A computer is
an electronic device that takes data and instruction as an input from
the user, processes data and provide useful information known as
output. This cycle of operation of a computer is known as input process
– output cycle as shown in figure.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTER
Computer is classified into several categories
depending on their computing ability and
processing speed. These includes
Microcomputer
Minicomputer
Mainframe computer
Super computer
MICROCOMPUTER
The term microcomputer is generally synonymous with personal computer, or a
computer that depends on a microprocessor. Microcomputers are designed
to be used by individuals, whether in the form of PCs, workstations or notebook
computers. A microcomputer contains a CPU on a microchip, a memory
system (typically ROM and RAM), a bus system and I/O ports, typically housed
in a motherboard.
MINI COMPUTER
A minicomputer is a medium-sized computer that is more powerful than the
microcomputer. An important distinction between the microcomputer and a
minicomputer is that a minicomputer is usually design to serve multiple users
simultaneously. A system that support multiple users is called a multiterminal,
time-sharing system. Minicomputer are the popular computing systems among
research and business organizations today. They are move expensive than
microcomputer.
MAINFRAME COMPUTER
A mainframe computer is a powerful, high-performance system used by large
organizations for critical applications. It can process and store massive
amounts of data quickly and reliably. Mainframes are known for their stability,
security, and ability to handle thousands of users simultaneously. They are
commonly used in banking, insurance, government, and large-scale business
operations. Mainframes support large databases, transaction processing, and
real-time analytics.
SUPER COMPUTER
Supercomputer are the most powerful and expensive computers
available. Supercomputers are primarily used for complex scientific
application, which need a higher level of processing. Some of these
application include weather forecasting, climate research, molecular
modeling used for chemical compounds, airplane simulation and
nuclear fusion research.
USAGE OF COMPUTER
Computer is the best companion of our daily life.
