Hybrid Computer – Definition, Types, Examples, Advantages Nitish Agarwal The Crazy Programmer

In this article, we will take a look at one of the most dynamic varieties of computers, the hybrid computers. Hybrid computers are those computers that have the functionalities of both analog and digital computers . Analog computers are those which work on continuous numerical data & logical operations while digital computers are those which work on both numerical & non-numerical data and deal with complex mathematical calculations. A hybrid computer uses both the qualities of analog as well as digital computers and hence increases accuracy and speeds up the processing. The analog computers are very fast in performing complex mathematical calculations but are not accurate while processing the information. Digital computers take care of the precision of the values but are really slow while performing the calculations. The qualities of both these computers were combined in a single computer, known as a hybrid computer, to achieve the goal of fast and accurate processing at the
