Computers can be classified in various ways, including by purpose, size, and functionality. They can be general purpose computers designed to run many different programs, or specialized computers designed for a specific task. Computers also differ in how they process and represent data, operating as digital computers which use binary representations, analog computers which represent values as continuous quantities, or hybrid computers which combine aspects of both. Finally, computers are also classified by size from the largest and most powerful supercomputers down to palmtop computers.

Generations of Computer
This document discusses the generations of computers from the 1st generation to the 5th generation and classifications of computers by size and function. The 1st generation used vacuum tubes and were large and slow. The 2nd generation used transistors and were smaller and faster. The 3rd generation used integrated circuits and were even smaller, used less energy, and were faster. The 4th generation used microprocessors and were powerful, small, and had high speeds. The 5th generation is based on artificial intelligence. Computers are also classified by size as microcomputers, minicomputers, mainframes, and supercomputers and by function as servers, workstations, information appliances, and embedded computers.

Control unit
The control unit is responsible for controlling the flow of data and operations in a computer. It generates timing and control signals to coordinate the arithmetic logic unit, memory, and other components. Control units can be implemented using either hardwired or microprogrammed logic. A hardwired control unit uses combinational logic circuits like gates and flip-flops to directly generate control signals, while a microprogrammed control unit stores control sequences as microprograms in a control memory and executes them step-by-step using microinstructions. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages related to speed, flexibility, cost, and complexity of implementation.

Computers that accept analog input and provide analog output.
Deal with variables.
It is used for measuring physical quantities.
Special purpose computers.
Computers that accepts digital input and provide
digital output.
The input data is represented by a number (Binary Number System).
These are used for the logical and arithmetic operations.
Measure digital quantities.

Micro computers include desktop computers, laptop computers, and palmtop computers. Hybrid computers demonstrate qualities of both analog and digital computers.
classification of computer
This document classifies and describes four main types of computers: analog computers, digital computers, hybrid computers, and micro computers. Analog computers represent variables continuously and can solve problems quickly but with approximate results. Digital computers represent variables with digits and are used to perform calculations and logical decisions. Hybrid computers combine analog and digital elements to leverage the advantages of both. Micro computers are the smallest type and have wide applications, even as portable devices that plug into walls.
Classification of computersdoc
There are three main types of computers:
1) Analog computers, which process continuous data represented by variables like voltage.
2) Digital computers, which process data represented by discrete values like 1s and 0s.
3) Hybrid computers, which can process both analog and digital data. Digital computers are the most common today and are used for a wide variety of tasks from business to education.
Classfication of computer Lecture no 3
Computers can be classified in several ways: by purpose as general purpose or special purpose computers, by technology as analog, digital or hybrid, and by size and capacity as super computers, mainframe computers, mini computers or micro computers. General purpose computers are used for a variety of tasks in homes and offices while special purpose computers perform specialized tasks. Digital computers represent data with binary digits and are commonly used today, while analog computers were used for scientific problems. Hybrid computers combine analog and digital elements. Classification by size ranges from very large super computers for complex tasks, to mainframe, mini then micro computers which are small, low-cost personal computers.

Classification of computers
- 1. Computers are classified according to Purpose Data hiding Functionality Size
- 2. General purpose Specific purpose
- 3. Computers are designed to perform different tasks. They have ability to store numerous programs , but lack in speed and efficiency.
- 4. Computers are designed to handle a specific problem or to perform a specific task. A set of instructions is built into the machine.
- 5. Analog Digital Hybrid
- 6. Computers work on the principle of measuring , in which the measurements obtained are translated into data Modern analog computers usually employ electrical parameters , such as voltages , resistances or currents , to represent the quantities being manipulated Such computers do not deal directly with the numbers They measure continuous physical magnitudes
- 7. Computer are those that operate with information , numerical or otherwise , represented in a digital form Such computers process data into a digital value(in 0s and 1s) They give the results with more accuracy and at faster rate
- 8. Computers incorporate the measuring feature of an analog computer and counting feature of a digital computer For computational purposes , these computers use analog components and for storage , digital memories are used
- 9. Digital computer Analog computer Hybrid computer(analog + digital)
- 10. Uses continuous physical phenomena such as electrical , mechanical , or hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved
- 11. Performs calculations and logical operations with quantities represented as digits , usually In the binary number system
- 12. A combination of computers those are capable of inputting and outputting in both digital and analog signals A hybrid computer system setup offers a cost effective method of performing complex simulations
- 13. Computers are classified into Super computer Mainframe computer Mini computer Micro computer
- 14. Very expensive Employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations Uses- animated graphics fluid dynamic calculations nuclear energy research petroleum exploration
- 15. Very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds , or even thousands , of users simultaneously. More powerful than supercomputers because they support more simultaneous programs
- 16. Midsized computer In size and power , minicomputers lie between workstations and mainframes. A minicomputer is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.
- 17. Desktop computer : a personal or micro-mini computer sufficient to fit on a desk. Laptop computer : a portable computer complete with an integrated screen and keyboard . It is generally smaller in size than a desktop computer and larger than a notebook computer. Palmtop computer : a hand-sized computer. Palmtops have no keyboard but the screen serves both as an input and output device.
