.1 General Purpose ComputerCapable of dealing with variety of different problems and are able toact in response to programs created to mee.different needshas the ability to store different prograconcepts that make the machine a general,purpose device one that has versatility.to make the processing of several tasks
Designed to do a wide variety of jobs ,rather than perform a specific activitythe general purpose machine typicallycomprise aspects of speed and efficiency . : ( )Ex Personal Computer PC

.2 Special Purpose Computer
Designed to perform one specific task , called frequently as dedicated computer. The program of instructions is built
into or permanently stored in the machine. Specialization results in the given task being
performed very quickly and efficiently. Adisadvantage of this machine is the lack ofversatility; it is flexible and cannot be easily useto perform other operations. Many specialpurpose systems have been successfully used focollecting highway tools, air traffic control,satellite, tracking, industrial process control,airline reservations, a machine used forultrasound and the ATM machine.

.1 Analog Computers analog comes from the word analogous whic
similar.
-used for scientific engineering and process c
.purposes deal with quantities that are continuously v
they give only approximate results
provides an analog or simulation of the obje.system it represents
useful for solving problems t
involved relationship betwe
variable quantities in system
change with time.

Capacity-volume of work or the data procapability a computer can handle, performajudged by:
Amount of data that can be stored in memo
Speed of internal operation of computer
Number and type of peripheral devices andAmount and type of software available for
computer.

.3 MainframeLarge, fast and fairly expensive computer
generally used by business or governmeto provide centralized storage, processiand management for large amount of da
Actually the bigger version of mini compusuch that handles more amount of data bigger number of users.

.4 Supercomputers Fastest and most expensive type of compute
designed for computer-intensive tasks
such as molecular modeling, code breakingand weather prediction.
Can process more that 1 trillion instructionsper second, making it possible to performcomplex tasks such as modeling themovement of thousands of particles in
tornado or creating realistic animations.
