先决条件–计算机分类
1.微型计算机:
微型计算机是也称为个人计算机的通用计算机。微型计算机用于我们的家庭和办公室的日常工作。微型计算机具有单个处理器,因此可用于简单的任务。
2.超级计算机:
超级计算机是世界上功能最强大,尺寸非常大且非常昂贵的计算机。超级计算机具有非常高的存储容量,并且可以存储比任何普通个人计算机多数千倍的数据。超级计算机可以在一秒钟内处理数十亿条指令。现代超级计算机具有数千个处理器,并用于复杂的计算。
微型计算机和超级计算机之间的区别:
S.NO | Microcomputer | Supercomputer |
---|---|---|
1. | Microcomputers are general-purpose computers that are mostly used for daily work that performs all logic and arithmetic operations. | While supercomputer is used for complex and large mathematical computations. |
2. | Microcomputers are small in terms of size. | While the size of a supercomputer is very large. |
3. | Microcomputers are cheaper than supercomputers. | Whereas the supercomputers are very expensive. |
4. | Microcomputer speeds lower than supercomputers. | Whereas supercomputer speed is extremely high. |
5. | Microcomputers can have multiple operating systems simultaneously. | Whereas at present, supercomputers have Linux and their different operating systems. |
6. | Microcomputers are used in offices, education systems, database management systems, word processing, etc. | Where supercomputers are used in astronomy, data analysis, robot designing, weather forecasting, data mining, etc. |
