 CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
1. MICRO COMPUTERS
 These computers are small in size and cost less.
 They are usually designed for personal use,
therefore, they are also called Personal Computers or
PCs.
Examples : Commodore 64, IBM PC.
 They are mainly used in homes,
schools, offices, shops, banks, etc.
2. MAINFRAME COMPUTERS
 These computers are very powerful.
 They are big in size with a large memory and high
speed. The processing speed of a mainframe
computer is measured in millions of instructions
per second (MIPS).
 They are designed to tackle huge amount of data.
 More than hundred users can use a mainframe
computer simultaneously. These computers are
used in networked environment.
 Mainframe computers are very expensive and
mainly used for bulk data processing in large business
organisations, universities, banks, scientific
laboratories, airline, and railway ticket reservations,
stock exchange markets etc.
Examples : IBM Z series, PDP-10 and SystemZ10
2. SUPER COMPUTERS
 They are the most powerful computers with a
huge processing speed.
 These computers are used for weather
forecasting, space research, satellite control etc.
 The performance of a supercomputer is
commonly measured in floating-point operations
per second (FLOPS)
instead of MIPS.
Examples : Fugaku,
Pratyush, Mihir,
PARAM Brahma,
Cray XC50 etc.
 VARIOUS KINDS OF FILE FORMATS
.ODT
.ODT files are text documents that are
similar to DOCX files. However, these files can
be opened in open-source word processor
programs, such as Open office. This is useful
when you’re sharing
files with others who
may not have
Microsoft Office.
 .PDF
.PDF files protects text and images within the
document, allowing information to be distributed
in an inalterable form. They’re nearly universal file
types, in that they can be opened on almost any
modern device. PDFs
can also contain
unalterable watermarks
to further protect
original documentation.
 .DOC and .DOCX
.DOC and . DOCX are the standard file
format of Microsoft Word documents. DOCX
files are XML-based DOC files. In newer
versions of Word,
files are saved as
the DOCX format
By default.
 .TXT
.TXT files are the most basic plain text file
format available. TXT files allow users to
create text-based documents without
worrying about
formatting, font
style, or text
colour.
 .HTML AND .HTM
.HTML and .HTM are the standard mark up
language used when creating web pages. When
opened in a text editor, like Sublime. HTML and
HTM files allow HTML code to be edited.
When opened in a
web browser, the
web page the code
creates is presented.
