  • Classification of Computer
    Department Of Business Administration Dr. Rakesh Ranjan BBA Sem -2 Classification of Computer Generally, computers can be divided into 3 types. 1. Analog Computers 2. Digital Computers 3. Hybrid Computers ANALOG COMPUTERS : In this type of computers, numerical magnitudes are represented by physical quantities such as electric current, voltage, or resistance, mechanical movements, etc. These are machines which are designed to perform arithmetical functions upon numbers where the numbers are represented by physical quantity. Analog computers are widely used in manufacturing units where temperatures, pressure or flow of liquids are to be monitored continuously. It is also used at petrol pump where petrol pump contains an analog processor that connects fuel flow measurements into quantity and price values. Among the various drawbacks of using Analog computers are: They do not have the ability to store data in large quantities; They do not have the logical facilities; They can perform only arithmetical functions but are more costlier. DIGITAL COMPUTERS : A digital computer operates on data in the form of digits, rather than the physical quantities used in analog computers. That is, its input must be discrete rather than continuous and may consist of combinations of numbers, characters and special symbols, written in appropriate programming language. Digital computers can be classified into two parts: General Purpose Digital Computers They are also known as all purpose digital computers. Theoretically they can be used for any type of applications, e.g., computers that are used for payroll, graphs, analysis, etc. Special Purpose Digital Computers A digital computer is 'designed to solve problems of a restricted type.

  • Configuring the Information Environment of Microcomputers with the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System
    Configuring the Information Environment of Microcomputers with the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System Felix Kasparinsky[0000-0002-1048-9212] MASTER-MULTIMEDIA Ltd, Entuziastov Shosse 98-3-274, Moscow 111531, Russia [email protected] Abstract. Since 2015, microcomputers have appeared in the information envi- ronment, which are a compact system unit with minimal functionality without peripherals. The article published the results of the analysis of the use of 6 dif- ferent microcomputers in various fields of activity. The purpose of the study is to determine the limiting factors affecting the efficiency of the targeted use of microcomputers. It has been established that for scientific and educational presentations, office and trading activities, it is cur-rently advisable to use fan- less microcomputers with a perforated case and an internal WiFi antenna, at least 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory, and a microSD (TF) memory card slot, at least 128 GB, NTFS file system), Intel HD Graphics, USB3.0 and HDMI interfaces. Based on comparative experiments, methodolog- ical recommendations were created on optimizing the configuration of the hardware-software environment of microcomputers in stationary and mobile conditions. The problems of major updates to Windows 10, as well as the com- patibility of Microsoft Store software and third-party manufacturers, are ana- lyzed. It is recommended to specialize individual microcomputers for working with 32-bit applications; accounting and cryptographic programs; as well as conducting presentations with their video. Options for optimal configuration of the Start menu of the Windows 10 desktop are suggested. It is concluded that specialization in the hardware-software configuration of modern microcomput- ers allows you to increase the efficiency of using single de-vices and their paired systems in accordance with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
