di ko na rin alam Flashcards
use continuous physical quantities to represent data and perform calculations. They operate with signals like voltage and are distinct from digital computers.
analog computers
process information using discrete elements (bits) represented as 0s and 1s. They perform calculations through logical operations, enabling versatile tasks and precise results.
digital computers
combine features of both analog and digital computers. They use analog for continuous data and digital for precise calculations, offering versatility across various applications.
hybrid computers
used at places where we have approximate values e.g., speed, temperature, pressure, etc.
analog computer
These computers can pick data from the devices without converting it into machine language. Some common examples of analog computers are speedometers, thermometers, etc.
analog computer
designed in a way so that they can perform calculations and logical operations at high speed. These computers input raw data and with the help of the programs stored in their memory, it gives the final output.
digital computer
can only understand binary language i.e., 0 and 1 hence, the raw data to be given as input is converted into 0 and 1 and then it is processed.
digital computers
mixture of both analog and digital computers.
hybrid computer
These computers can process both continuous and discrete data as they accept analog signals and then convert them into digital signals before processing
hybrid computers
common uses of hybrid computers
airplanes and hospitals
two components of computer
hardware and software
brain of a computer, executing instructions and performing calculations to run software and process data for overall system functionality.
central processing unit
is for temporary storage, and storage devices like hard drives store data permanently.
random access memory
in a computer performs mathematical and logical operations, like addition and comparison, enabling the CPU to execute tasks and make decisions.
arithmetic logic unit
include keyboards for trying, mice for pointing and clicking, touchscreens for direct interaction, and microphones for voice input.
input devices of computer
include monitors for displaying information, printers for producing hard copies, speakers for audio output, and projectors for larger visual displays.
output devices of computer
computer’s main circuit board, connecting and facilitating communication between components like CPU, RAM, and Peripherals. It provides the foundation for the system to foundation for the system to function.
motherboard
Often referred to as the “brain” of the computer
central processing unit
responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations. It interprets and carries out the commands from software and hardware components.
central processing unit
provides fast but volatile storage
random access memory
offers non-volatile, long-term storage for programs and files.
solid-state drive (ssd)
part of a central processing unit (CPU) and performs all arithmetic and logic operations that must be performed on instruction words.
arithmetic logic unit
enable users to interact with the computer. These are tools used to provide information and commands to the computer.
input devices
include keyboards, mice, touchscreens, scanners, and microphones.
