The document discusses the four basic types of computers: super computers, mainframe computers, minicomputers, and microcomputers. Super computers consist of tens of thousands of processors able to perform billions of calculations per second. Mainframe computers are large, reliable machines used by large organizations for mission critical applications. Minicomputers are smaller than mainframes but larger than microcomputers, and are used as small or mid-range servers. Microcomputers, now commonly called personal computers, are designed for individual use and are the smallest type.

2. THESE ARE THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF A
COMPUTERS

3. SUPER COMPUTER

4. SUPER COMPUTER
•A supercomputer is a type of computer that has
the architecture, resources and components to
achieve massive computing power. Today's
supercomputers consists of tens of thousands of
processors that are able to perform billions and
trillions of calculations or computations per second.

5. MAINFRAME COMPUTER

6. MAINFRAME COMPUTER
• Mainframes are a type of computer that generally are
known for their large size, amount of storage, processing
power and high level of reliability. They are primarily used
by large organizations for mission-critical applications
requiring high volumes of data processing. In general,
there are a few characteristics of mainframes that are
common among all mainframe vendors.

7. MINICOMPUTER

8. MINICOMPUTER
• A minicomputer is a type of computer that possesses
most of the features and capabilities of a large computer
but is smaller in physical size. A minicomputer fills the
space between the mainframe and microcomputer, and is
smaller than the former but larger than the latter.
Minicomputers are mainly used as small or mid-range
servers operating business and scientific applications.

9. MICROCOMPUTER

10. MICROCOMPUTER
• A microcomputer is a computer with a central
processing unit (CPU) as a microprocessor. Designed for
individual use, a microcomputer is smaller than a
mainframe or a minicomputer.The term microcomputer
is not as commonly used as it was during the 1970s-
1980s. We now refer to microcomputers as, simply,
computers, or personal computers (PC).
