Describe the different types of computers.
Computers are usually divided into 5 major categories in foreign countries:
- yle="list-style-type: none">
- supercomputers, or supercomputer supercomputers, usually refer to the largest, fastest and most expensive computers. For example, the fastest supermachine speed in the world is 170 billion 400 million times a second floating point operation.

- a small super machine or small super machine is also known as desktop super computer. It wants to reduce the size of the giant computer to the size of the personal computer, or make the personal computer have the performance of the super computer.
- yle="list-style-type: none">
- the mainframe, which includes the large and medium computers we usually say. This is the most important computing mode before the emergence of the microcomputer. That is to put the mainframe in the glass machine room of the computing center. If the user wants to go to the airplane, he must calculate the work on the center. The mainframe has gone through the stage of batch processing and time sharing, and it has entered the stage of decentralization and centralized management.

- The minicomputer is expensive and complex in operation because of the cost of the mainframe. Only large enterprises can afford to buy it. Driven by integrated circuits, DEC launched a series of minicomputers in 60s.

- Personal computers, or microcomputers, are the fastest growing areas of the world.
