PPT-Types of Computers Computer Technology

S1 Obj 11 Introduction There are many different types of computers available today They are categorized into different types depending on their size and processing power What are the categories. Classification of Computers. Types of Computers. 1. Analog Computers. Analog computers are used to process continuous data. Analog computers represent variables by physical quantities. Thus any computer which solve problem by translating physical conditions such as flow, temperature, pressure, angular position or voltage into related mechanical or electrical related circuits as an analog for the physical phenomenon being investigated in general it is a computer which uses an analog quantity and produces analog values as output. Thus an analog computer measures continuously. Analog computers are very much speedy. They produce their results very fast. But their results are approximately correct. All the analog computers are special purpose computers.. Twelfth Edition. Chapter 1: Computers and You. . Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. 1. Computers and You.
