  • The magic machine – Computers, are not only classified w.r.t their functions but are also differentiated by their size. Primarily they are divided into four main types: Super Computer Mainframe Computer Mini Computer Micro Computer Super Computer: They are focused on performing specific actions and follow heavy extremely intense and critical calculations like weather forecasting, fluid dynamics etc. They are generally used by scientists and are very powerful and expensive. The speed with which they operate is highly blazing. Mainframe Computer: They are the typical large computing machines which occupied extremely large space, more than the size of the rooms...

  • Client-server computing is a software engineering technique often used within distributed computing that allows two independent processes to exchange information, through a dedicated connection, following an established protocol. Not understood? Try little simpler version. Client-server system is mainly two different processors that exchange information on common server. Unlike peer to peer system there is one server that stores the information and gives it only when the client provides specific identification like username. Functions such as email exchange, web access and database access, are built on the client-server model. Take an example of banking service, Users accessing banking services from their computer...
