Mainframe computers are large, powerful systems designed to handle high-volume data processing and support multiple users simultaneously. Supercomputers are large but focus on computational speed rather than user support.

The vast majority of modern computers are digital, representing data as discrete binary values. Analog computers are largely obsolete, and hybrid computers are relatively rare.

Nanocomputer is the name given to the molecular-scale computer.

Nanocomputing describes computing that uses extremely small, or nanoscale, devices (one nanometer [nm] is one billionth of a meter). In 2001, state-of-the-art electronic devices could be as small as about 100 nm, which is about the same size as a virus. The integrated circuits (IC) industry, however, looks to the future to determine the smallest electronic devices possible within the limits of computing technology.

 Molecular scale electronics, also called single-molecule electronics, is a branch of nanotechnology that uses single molecules, or nanoscale collections of single molecules, as electronic components. Because single molecules constitute the smallest stable structures imaginable, this miniaturization is the ultimate goal for shrinking electrical circuits.

A modern digital computer has Extremely high speed,Large memory and Almost unlimited array.

A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance compared to a general-purpose computer. Performance of a supercomputer is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions per second (MIPS). As of 2017, there are supercomputers which can perform up to nearly a hundred quadrillion FLOPS. As of November 2017, all of the world's fastest 500 supercomputers run Linux-based operating systems. Additional research is being conducted in China, the United States, the European Union, Taiwan and Japan to build even faster, more powerful and more technologically superior exascale supercomputers.

Big memory is a term used to describe server workloads which need to run on machines with a large amount of RAM (random-access memory) memory. Some example workloads are databases, in-memory caches, and graph analytics. Or, more generally, data science and big data.Some database systems are designed to run mostly in memory, rarely if ever retrieving data from disk or flash memory.

Sting Ray Torpedo is the first guided weapon in the world which used a programmable digital computer.

The Sting Ray torpedo is a current British acoustic homing light-weight torpedo (LWT) manufactured by GEC-Marconi, who were later bought out by BAE Systems. It entered service in 1983.

A torpedo tube is a cylinder shaped device for launching torpedoes. There are two main types of torpedo tube: underwater tubes fitted to submarines and some surface ships, and deck-mounted units (also referred to as torpedo launchers) installed aboard surface vessels.

Colossus was a set of computers developed by British codebreakers in the years 1943–1945 to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher. Colossus used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform Boolean and counting operations. Colossus is thus regarded as the world's first programmable, electronic, digital computer, although it was programmed by switches and plugs and not by a stored program.

The first electronic digital computer contained Electronic valves.

In electronics, a vacuum tube, an electron tube, or colloquially a tube (North America) or valve (British usage), is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.

In computer science, a digital electronic computer is a computer machine which is both an electronic computer and a digital computer. Examples of a digital electronic computers include the IBM PC, the Apple Macintosh as well as modern smartphones.

Vacuum tube. Alternatively referred to as an electron tube or valve and first developed by John Ambrose Fleming in 1904. The vacuum tube is a glass tube that has its gas removed, creating a vacuum. Vacuum tubes contain electrodes for controlling electron flow and were used in early computers as a switch or an amplifier

It represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits is true for the digital computer.

As we have seen in this Binary Numbers section of tutorials, there are many different binary codes used in digital and electronic circuits, each with its own specific use.

As we naturally live in a decimal (base-10) world we need some way of converting these decimal numbers into a binary (base-2) environment that computers and digital electronic devices understand, and binary coded decimal code allows us to do that.

We have seen previously that an n-bit binary code is a group of “n” bits that assume up to 2n distinct combinations of 1’s and 0’s. The advantage of the Binary Coded Decimal system is that each decimal digit is represented by a group of 4 binary digits or bits in much the same way as Hexadecimal. So for the 10 decimal digits (0-to-9) we need a 4-bit binary code.

A computer with CPU speed around 100 million instructions per second & with the word length of around 64 bits is known as Super computer.

A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance compared to a general-purpose computer.

The country unveiled the world's fastest supercomputer, the Sunway TaihuLight (above). This year, according to state news agency Xinhua, the government has set its sights on completing the world's first prototype exascale computer; a machine capable of making a billion billion calculations per second.

EDVAC is a kind of digital computer. it is abbreviated as Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer. It was a binary serial computer with automatic  addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It's average addition time was 864 microseconds

All electronic computers are digital computers statement is false.

All kinds of computers, whether they are digital or analog, and electronic or non-electronic, can be Turing complete if they have sufficient memory. ... A digital computer can perform its operations in the decimal system, in binary, in ternary or in other numeral systems.

Digital computer. Digital computer, any of a class of devices capable of solving problems by processing information in discrete form. It operates on data, including magnitudes, letters, and symbols, that are expressed in binary code—i.e., using only the two digits 0 and 1.

Computer is an electronic device or combination of electronic devices. ... A computer can, not only store and process data but also retrieve data i.e. take out data from its memory or storage as and when desired.
