Comparing Personal, Mini and Super Computer
Personal Computer
Person : 1 user
Price : IDR 2 million – 38 million
Use : convert the data to information ex : businesses use personal computers for word processing, accounting, desktop publishing, and for running spreadsheet and database management applications. Storage Disk Capacity : 64GB – 2TB
Mini Computer
IBM AS/400
Person : Multiuser (Time Shared) Used by some user at the same time ex : used for a user group or per department at a large company
Price : The price is relatively more expensive , depending on the number of terminals and input and output devices. The price ranging from IDR 15 million (USD 1500)
Uses : medical instruction; radiologic technology, production control applications, research laboratories and data communications.
Storage Disk Capacity : -/+ min 1 TB.
Mainframes
Person / used : large organizations
Price : >$300.000
Uses : for critical applications, typically bulk data processing such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and financial transaction processing.
Disk Storage Capacity : Several terrabytes.
Super Computer
IBM supercomputer Blue Gene/L
A supercomputer is a computer that is at the frontline of current processing capacity,
Uses : for highly calculation-intensive tasks such as problems involving quantum physics, weather forecasting, climate research, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), physical simulations (such as simulation of airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear weapons, and research into nuclear fusion).
Price : about $800,000
Storage Disk Capacity : THE EXPEC COMPUTER CENTER (ECC) > 1050 TB
The Fastest Supercomputer at present is Tianhe-I (means Milky Way-1 In Chinesse). The computer had cost $88 million to build and around $20 million annually for costs involving energy intake and operating costs. It also has to
