Classification of Computers
Classification of Computers (Different Types of Computers)
Classification of Computer (Different Types of Computers)
Computers can be classified in three ways.
These are
1. Based on Memory Size and Performance: Microcomputer, Minicomputer, Mainframe computer and Supercomputer
2. Based on Work: Analog computer, Digital computer and Hybrid computer
3. Based on Purpose: General Purpose and Special Purpose
1. On the basis of Memory Size and Performance
Micro computers
Micro computers are the least powerful, but most widely used type of computer across the world. They are also known as portable computer because they are easy to move. They can be further classified into
1. Personal Computers
2. Laptops or Notebooks
3. Handheld Computers
4. Tablets
Mainframe computers
Mainframe computers are primarily deployed by the large corporate and governmental organizations for applications which requires bulk data processing such as census, industry and consumer statistics and transaction processing. They are designed for extensive input-output facilities with the ability to offload to separate engines. They are highly compatible with older versions of software. They are colloquially known as Big Iron by computer specialists because of their monolithic structures.
Minicomputer
Minicomputer is a class of computer developed after Mainframe computers. These are smaller and less powerful than Mainframe computers. They are usually employed by small organizations as computer server in their network who need less computing power than mainframe computers.
Supercomputers
Supercomputers are the fastest and most expensive computers in comparision to others. They are deployed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations such as weather forcasting and nuclear research. Their speed is measured in FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second). CRAY-I was the first supercomputer introduced by Seymour R Cray in 1976. PARAM was the first supercomputer developed in India. IBM Summit is the fastest supercomputer as of now.
2. On the basis of Work Mechanism
Analog computers
Analog computers are the job-oriented computers which can carry out arithmetic and logical operations by manipulating an processing data. Examples: Speedometer, Seismograph, Voltmeter and Ammeter.
Digital computers
They work on binary mechanism of 0 and 1, to not perform mathemical calculations, but also to produce graphics, sounds and videos. Example: Laptop, Smartphones.
Hybrid computers
Hybrid computers combines the technology of both analog computers and digital computers to produce the desired result. These are usually specialized computers used in hospitals such as ECG machines.
3. On the basis of Purpose
General Purpose Computers
General purpose computers are those computers which are used to solve a variety of problems by changing a different set of instruction or program such as accounting and graphic design.
Special Purpose Computers
Special Purpose Computers are those computers which are designed to solve a particular problem such as automatic aircraft landing and multimedia computer.
Computer Networks
Computer Security - Components and Methods
Computer Security - Components and Methods
Computer security, also known as cyber security or IT security, is branch of information technology, which is intended to protect computers from any personal (both social and economical) harm. It simply deals with the protection of a computer system and data they store.
Methods to Provide Protection
System Access Control
It ensures that unauthorized user do not get into the system by encouraging authorized users to more conscious. For example, by changing their passwords on regular intervals.
Data Access Control
It monitors who can access the data and for what purpose. The system can grant access to the data on the basis of access rules defined.
System and Security Administration
It performs offline security operations that makes or breaks the security system.
System Design
With the help of system design, one can take advantage of basic hardware and software security capabilities to secure the system. For example, using an architecture to segment and isolate process from others.
Components of Computer Security
Basic components of computer security are1. Confidentiality: No data accessed by an unauthorized person.
2. Access Control: Ensures the access to the resources that are allowed to access for them.
3. Non-repudiation: Ensures that originator of the message cannot deny that they are not originator of the message.
4. Authentication: Ensures that users are the same person that they are claimed to be.
5. Integrity: Ensures information is not altered by any unauthorized person in such a way, it is not detectable to any authorized person.
6. Availability: Ensures that the system work properly and services are not denied to the authorized users.
7. Privacy: Ensures the user have full privacy while using information.
8. Cryptography: It helps to hide information from plain sight by recoding the information into some tangible form, only understood by system. It helps in protecting data while transmission and also data stored on a disk.
Computer Attack
It is useful to learn what kind of activities can make your computer vulnerable to computer hackers (people who attack computer to steal their information in order to harm them socially and economically). Computer programs and cracked softwares downloaded from unauthorized sites are one of the most common source of attack. A hacker usually attach a malware with these program to sneak into your computer. Some of other sources of malware attacks are
1. Downloadable Program
2. Cracked Softwares
3. E-mail Attachments
4. Booting from Unknown CD
5. Internet (Spoofing, Phishing, Adware and so on)
6. Unsecured Flash/Pen Drives
7. Not Running the Latest Update.
