哪位高手能帮翻译下这篇英文?Kinds of Computers
A computer is a multi-functional and programmable electronic processing machine. This means a computer is made up of electronic components and can be programmed to do a number of different tasks. The program is stored actually inside the machine, making it a stored program. A computer’s function is to accept data and process them into information. Data flow into the machine as input and flow from the machine as output.
All computers, from the first room-sized mainframes, to today’s powerful desktop, laptop and even hand-held PCs, perform the same general operations on information. What changes over time is the information handled, how it is handled, and how quickly and efficiently it can be done.
When you think about a computer and what it does, you of course think that “it computes”. And this is indeed one part of its job. Computing is really another term for “information transformation”—changing information from one form to another.
One special form of information the computer process is its instructions. These are the commands that programmers give the computer to tell it what to do. Every time you do anything with a computer, you are really talking to a program that is talking to the computer. The language that computers speak, which is called machine language, is very complex and hard to understand.
Computers can be general classified by size and power as follows:
Microcomputer
Microcomputer is generally a synonym for the more common term, personal computer, or PC, which is a small single-user computer based on a microcomputer. In addition to the microprocessor, a personal computer has a keyboard for entering data, a monitor for displaying information, and a storage device for saving data.
Workstation
Workstation is a powerful single-user computer. It is like a personal computer, but it has a more powerful microprocessor and a higher-quality monitor.
Mainframe Computer
Mainframe or mainframe computer is a powerful multi-user computer. It is capable of supporting many hundreds or thousands of users at the same time. It is now usually referred to a “large server”.
Minicomputer
Minicomputer (a term no longer much used) is a multi-user computer of a size between a microcomputer and a mainframe.
Supercomputer
Supercomputer is an extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds of millions of instructions per second, but now it refers to a “very large server” and sometimes includes a system of computers using parallel processing.
