What is hybrid computer? What are it's features? Comparison between Analog, Digital & Hybrid Computer
A hybrid computer is a type of computer that offers the different functions of both a digital and an analog computer. It is designed to include a working analog unit that is powerful for calculations, yet has a readily available digital memory.
Hybrid Computer are PCs that display highlights of simple PCs and Digital PCs. The computerized part regularly fills in as the controller and gives sensible and numerical activities, while the simple segment frequently fills in as a solver of differential conditions and other scientifically complex conditions. The primary work area half breed registering framework was the Hycomp 250, discharged by Packard Bell in 1961.
When all is said in done, simple PCs are exceptionally quick, since they can tackle most numerically complex conditions at the rate at which a flag crosses the circuit, which is for the most part a considerable division of the speed of light. Then again, the exactness of simple PCs isn't great; they are constrained to three, or at most, four digits of accuracy.
Hybrid computer (digital + analog):
- These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers.
- Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computers and digital computers.
- The digital component normally serves as the controller and provides logical operations, while the analog component normally serves as a solver of differential equations.
- The hybrid computers can transfer data from analog to digital and digital to analog.
- Used in industrial process control, jet planes, airplanes
- These computers are mainly used in hospital to measure the heart beat of patient.
