Digital and Analog Computer

.

Digital Computer:


  • A digital computer uses distinct values to represent the data internally.
  • All information are represented using the digital 0's and 1's.
  • Digital signal represents particular state that is: 0 (low) or 1 (high), yes or No, On or OFF, True or False.
  • These systems store and process the data in digital form (string of 0's and 1's).
  • They are capable of processing analog signals but the analog signals have to be converted into digital signals using an ADC before feeding into the digital computer.

Analog Computer:

  • Analog computer is another kind of a computer that represents data as variable across a continuous rang of values.
  • Analog computers are used for measuring of parameters that vary continuously in real time, such as temperature, pressure and voltage.
  • Analogue computers are used in hospital to measure the size of stone in kidney and mental disease diagnostics (CT scan with photos).
  • These computer use OP-AMP (Operational Amplifier).
  • Examples Seismograph

Hybrid Computer:

  • These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers.
  • Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computer and digital computers.
  • It is used in industrial process control, jet plan, airplanes.
  • These computers are mainly used in hospital to measure the heart beat of patient.
  • It can transfer data from analog to digital and digital to analog.

Introduce Linux, UNIX and Linux distribution.

 . Linux Linux is an open source operating system. The term Linux is actually referred to mean a kernel of Unix like operating system developed by a Finish software architect Linus Torvald. The name Linux is derived from Linus' Unix. Linux was originated from the inspiration of a small Unix like operating system MINIX by A.S Tanenbum. Linux is a complete multiuser, multiprocessing, secure and stable operating system which is also considered as UNIX clone. However no code from the proprietary from AT and T is included in Unix. It has flavor of Unix but is not Unix. UNIX  UNIX is a layered operating system. The innermost layer is the hardware that provides the service for the OS. The operating system, referred to in UNIX as the kernel, interacts directly with the hardware and provides the services to the user program. These user programs don't need to know anything about the hardware. They just need to know how to interact with the kernel and it's up to the kernel to provide ...

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...
