A mainframe computer is a much larger computer
that typically fills a room and may cost many
hundreds or thousands of times as much as a
personal computer. They are designed to perform
large numbers of calculations for governments and
large enterprises.
Read-only memory (ROM) is a storage medium
used in computers and other electronic devices. Data
stored in ROM can only be modified slowly or with
difficulty, or not at all.
ROM is non-volatile and the contents are retained
even after the power is switched off.
It only allows reading.
The types of ROM include PROM, EPROM and
EEPROM.
Random Access Memory (RAM),allows the
computer to store data for immediate for immediate
manipulation and to keep track of what is currently
being processed.
RAM is referred to as volatile memory and is lost
when the power is turned off.
It allows reading and writing.
The two main types of RAM are static RAM and
dynamic RAM.
SRAM retains data as long as power is provided to
the memory chip and need not be refreshed
periodically. SRAM stands for Static Random Access
Memory.

is a conceptual model that characterizes and
standardizes the internal functions of a
communication system by partitioning it into
abstraction layers. The model is a product of the

Network topology is the arrangement of the
various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer
network.There are two basic categories of network
topologies:
Physical topologies and logical topologies.
Physical topology is the placement of the various
components of a network, including device
location and cable installation, while logical
topology illustrates how data flows within a
network, regardless of its physical design. Various
types of topologies are:
Bus Topology
Star Topology
Ring Topology
