2) Mini Computers
Minicomputers were introduced in early 1960s. They were faster than micro computers. Basically these computers were mainly multi-user systems, where many users work on the systems. Generally these types of computers had larger memories and greater storage capacity. They had large instruction set and address field. These kinds of computers have efficient storage for handling of text, in comparison to lower bit machines. Due to more efficient processor, speed and memory size, minicomputer was used in variety of applications and could support business applications along with the scientific applications. Minicomputer was a multi-user system which means more than one user could use this system simultaneously.
3) Micro Computers
Micro Computer is a computer whose CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a microprocessor. All the components of a microprocessor are on a single integrated circuit chip. Micro computer can be categorized as the desktop, programmable and workstation. The microprocessor based computers are called third generation computers. They are the backbone of the modern computer era. The first and second generation computers are based on vacuum tubes and bipolar junction transistors.
4) Super Computers
Super Computers are the fastest computer in current era. The processing capabilities of super computer lies in the range of GIPS2, word length 64-128 or may be in 256 or so. The memory capacity of super computer is in some gigabytes or in terabytes. The storage capacity of this type of computer is in exabytes.
The parallel processing of a super computer makes it very fast because it contains number of CPU that operates parallel. They are used at some research centers and government agencies involving sophisticated scientific and engineering tasks.
5) server
In computing, a server is a piece of computer hardware or software (computer program) that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients". This architecture is called the clientâserver model. Servers can provide various functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client. A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers. A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.[1] Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
