Multiprocessing: Multiprocessing refers to executing multiple processes (programs) at the same time

The difference between computer hardware and software are:
1. wires, transistors, circuits, keyboard, monitor, mouse and so on are called "Hardware"
2.the instructions and data are called "software"
Software tells the hardware what to do.

# Central processing unit (CPU): The heart of the computer, this is the component that actually executes instructions organized in programs ("software") which tell the computer what to do.

# Memory (fast, expensive, short-term memory): Enables a computer to store, at least temporarily, data, programs, and intermediate results.

# Mass storage device (slower, cheaper, long-term memory): Allows a computer to permanently retain large amounts of data and programs between jobs. Common mass storage devices include disk drives and tape drives.

# Input device: Usually a keyboard and mouse, the input device is the conduit through which data and instructions enter a computer.

# Output device: A display screen, printer, or other device that lets you see what the computer has accomplished.
Types of computers are as follows:
Computer sizes and power

Computers can be generally classified by size and power as follows, though there is considerable overlap:

* Personal computer: A small, single-user computer based on a microprocessor.

* Workstation: A powerful, single-user computer. A workstation is like a personal computer, but it has a more powerful microprocessor and, in general, a higher-quality monitor.

* Minicomputer: A multi-user computer capable of supporting up to hundreds of users simultaneously.

* Mainframe: A powerful multi-user computer capable of supporting many hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously.

* Supercomputer: An extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds of millions of instructions per second.

Q2. A computer calculate in bit, byte, kilo bit/byte, mega bit/byte, giga byte, terrer byte and so on....... Binary is used to make this calculations. A computer knows only 0&1. Neros mean no sock and ones means sock. 8bits= 1byte, 1024 bytes= 1MB, 1024MB=1GB, 1024GB=1TB (this is in millions) This calculations some times 1000byte is used instead of 1024bytes.
Inputs are welcome!!!!!!!!!
