Mini computers 💸💰

A minicomputer is a small computer that is in between the size, speed, and capacity of a microcomputer and a mainframe. They are known for being reliable, durable,
and affordable.

Here are some characteristics of minicomputers:

Size: Smaller than a mainframe but larger than a microcomputer

Speed: Intermediate between a microcomputer and a mainframe

Capacity: Intermediate between a microcomputer and a mainframe

Time-sharing: Can support time-sharing

Multi-user: Typically support multiple users and programs running simultaneously

Applications: Often dedicated to a single application

Minicomputers were developed in the 1960s and were most popular in the 1960s and 1970s. They were used for a variety of tasks, including: Scientific and engineering
computations, Business transaction processing, File handling, and Database management.

Some examples of minicomputers include the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP and VAX series, IBM System/3, and the Hewlett-Packard HP 3000 series.
 The term “minicomputer” is less commonly used today because the features that distinguished it from other types of computers have become standard features in
modern computers.

Micro computers🥾⚽🚀

A microcomputer is a small, digital computer that uses a single microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU):
Components

Microcomputers include a microprocessor, program memory, data memory, and input-output module. They also contain other semiconductor chips that serve as the main
memory and interfaces for exchanging data.

Size

Microcomputers can range from a single chip embedded controller to a large system with various components.

Uses

Microcomputers are used in everyday household goods and can be programmed and designed using different types of microcontrollers.

Examples

Common microcomputers today include laptops and desktops. The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable, credit-card-sized single-board computer designed for hobbyists.

History

The first generation of microcomputers was from about 1971 to 1976. The MITS Altair 8800 (1975) was arguably the most famous early microcomputer.

Normal computer

A computer is a device that processes, stores, and displays information. The four main functions of a
computer are input, processing, output, and storage.
A typical personal computer (PC) includes:
Central processing unit (CPU): Contains the computer’s arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry
Computer memory: Includes main memory, such as RAM, and auxiliary memory, such as hard disks, optical
compact discs, or ROM discs
Peripheral devices: Includes a display screen, keyboard, mouse, and printer
A desktop PC is a traditional computer setup with separate components, including:
A tower or case housing the CPU, motherboard, and other internal components
A separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse
 All-in-one computers combine the computer’s motherboard with the keyboard in the same enclosure.
They are often connected to a television set for display.

Super computer

A powerful computer system that can perform complex calculations and data processing at scale. Supercomputers are
used to solve scientific and industrial challenges, such as weather forecasting, climate change, and drug development.
Here are some key features of supercomputers:
Parallel processing
Supercomputers use multiple nodes that work together to solve problems. Each node contains a multi-core processor and
memory block.
High-speed networking
Supercomputers use a high-speed network to connect the nodes.
Hardware accelerators
Supercomputers use hardware-based accelerators to perform calculations quickly.
Specialized cooling
Supercomputers use specialized systems to cool them because they can’t be cooled using traditional methods.
 Supercomputers are different from regular computers because they can execute many tasks at once, while a regular
computer solves one task at a time.
