WHAT IS COMPUTER?
A computer is an electronic device, operating under
the control of instructions stored in its own memory that
can accept data (input), process the data according to
specified rules, produce information (output), and store the
information for future use.
Data is an unprocessed collection of elements that might
contain text, numbers, photos, audio, and video.

sustain hundreds of users at once. In terms of software technology,
it differs from minicomputers.
• A mainframe computer system is a large and expensive computer
system. A mainframe is often capable of handling hundreds of
thousands of concurrent users.
• These devices run numerous programs at the same time and permit
multiple concurrent executions of applications.
• Mainframe computers are typically employed in big businesses that
require the processing and management of enormous amounts of
data, such as the telecom and banking sectors.

COMPUTER SCIENCE 1
SUPERCOMPUTER
• It is an incredibly fast computer system that can execute
hundreds of millions of instructions every second.
Supercomputers are one of the fastest computers in the
world.
• These computers are costly and are only employed for
specialized applications that require many mathematical
calculations or number crunching.
• For example, supercomputers' tasks are animated graphics,
scientific simulations, weather forecasting, and geological
data analysis in industries like petrochemical prospecting,
fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear energy research, and
electronic design.

MEMORY
Computer memory is the storage space in the
computer, where data is to be processed and instructions required
for processing are stored.
Internal memory, also called "main or primary memory" refers to
memory that stores small amounts of data that can be accessed
quickly while the computer is running.
External memory, also called "secondary memory" refers to a
storage device that can retain or store data persistently. They
could be embedded or removable storage devices. Examples
include hard disk or solid state drives, USB flash drives, and
compact discs.

MEMORY
Read-only memory, or ROM, is a form of data storage in computers and other electronic devices that
cannot be easily altered or reprogrammed. ROM is non-volatile and the contents are retained even after the
power is switched off.
Random-access memory, or RAM, is a form of data storage that can be accessed randomly at any time, in any
order, and from any physical location in contrast to other storage devices, such as hard drives, where the
physical location of the data determines the time taken to retrieve it. RAM is measured in megabytes and the
speed is measured in nanoseconds and RAM chips can read data faster than ROM.
