    Key words before starts to the lesson
    Computer :A computer is a programmable device for processing, storing,
    and displaying information.
    Device: It is a hardware component of a computer system consisting of
    electronic components.
    Hardware: Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer.
    Software : It is a collection of instructions, procedures, and documentation
    that performs different tasks on a computer system.
    INTRODUCTION
    Types of Computers
    Computers can be differentiated based on their modes of functioning as well as their size
    and functionality. Here they have been divided into different types of computers without
    considering any of these factors.

    • Analogue
    • Digital
    • Hybrid
    • Mainframes
    • Supercomputers
    • Servers
    • Workstation
    • Microcomputer

    Mainframe computers
    Mainframe computers are computers that are accessed simultaneously
    by several thousands of people at once. They are used in fields of
    banking and telecom where they have to handle millions of requests
    together in minimal time.
    https://youtu.be/hx2i_YCOmUc
    Uses
    • It is used to host business databases (which can be accessed by
    thousands of consumers simultaneously through web interface.)
    • It is also used in large scale transaction processing and batch
    processing.
    • Statistical analysis
    • ATM
    Super computers
    These massive computers are used in the fields of engineering and
    scientific computations. They usually perform over a million
    instructions per second.

    Uses
    Research in quantum mechanics
    Weather forecasting
    Climate research

    Performance
    Task

    1.Give 2 uses of main frame computers.


    Task

    Differentiate Main frame computers and super computers


    Supercomputer is the fastest computer of the world, whereas the
    mainframe computer is also faster but less than a supercomputer.
    Supercomputer is the largest computer, whereas the mainframe
    computer is also large but less than a supercomputer.
    Supercomputers are more costly than mainframe computers.
    Supercomputers are used for large and complex calculations, while
    mainframe computers are used as a centralized computing system for
    data processing.
    Supercomputer’s speed is more than mainframe computer’s speed.
    Final Evaluate
    1.What is mean by RAS in relation to mainframe computers and
    super computers
