COMMON TYPES OF SOFTWARE

Some Types of Computer Software or Programs:

1. Systems Programs/Operating System Software

• Is the software used by the computer to translate inputs
from various sources into a language which a machine
can understand. Basically the System software or
the operating system software coordinates the different
hardware components of a computer

• Examples:

• Operating Systems like Linux, Windows, Unix,

Solaris, MacOS

2. Application Programs

• It is a software which we must use to interact with the

computer.

• Examples:

• Word Processor

• Game programs

• Spreadsheets

 It provides support to the physical components of

computers. System software coordinates all external
devices of computer system like printer, keyboard,
displays etc.
 It is used for commercial purpose. The application
software is widely used in educational, business
and medical fields.
3. Compilers

• The computer understands only one language: machine

language. Machine language is in the form of ones and
zeros. Since it is highly impractical for people to create
programs out of zeros and ones, there must be a way of
5
 translating or converting a language which we understand
into machine language, for this purpose, there exists
compilers

Different Parts of the Keyboard

Function Keys
Across the top of a keyboard are a row of keys called the
Function Keys. Each key is composed of the letter F and a
number, ranging from F1 to F12. Each of the Function Keys
performs a specific operation based upon what software is
being used.
Numeric Keypad
Many larger keyboards have an extra section to the right
that contains the Numeric Keypad. This consists of the
numbers 1 through 9, an asterisk, a slash, a dash, a plus sign,
an enter key and a period. There is also is a "Num Lock" key,
which is used to turn on and off the Numeric Keypad.

Navigation Keys
The Navigation Keys, also called the Direction Keys, are
used to navigate through documents and websites. Examples of
Navigation Keys are the up, down, left and right arrows

Typewriter Keyboard
The center of the keyboard, which contains the largest
amount of keys, includes letters and numbers. Most typing is
done with these keys.

6
 Special Keys
Other keys include the Alt and Ctrl keys (used for specific
functions), the Tab key (used to insert the curser) and the Shift
key (used to make capital letters or symbols that are located
on the number keys).

Escape

The Escape key is located in the upper left-hand corner of

the keyboard. It is used to cancel operations.

INSIDE THE KEYBOARD

A keyboard has its own processor and circuitry that carries
information to and from that processor.

Good typing ability takes time and lots and lots of

practice. However there are some important things that will
help you in the process: 

7
 **NOTE It is also important to strike the keys with a short quick stroke.

STORAGE DEVICES

A storage device is any type of computing hardware that is

used for storing, porting or extracting data files and objects. Storage
devices can hold and store information both temporarily and
permanently. They may be internal or external to a computer, server
or computing device.

9
There are two different types of storage devices:

Primary storage devices: Generally smaller in size,

primary storage devices are designed to hold data temporarily
and are internal to the computer. They have the fastest data
access speed. These types of devices include RAM and cache
memory.
Secondary storage devices: Secondary storage devices
usually have larger storage capacity, and they store data
permanently. They can be either internal or external to the
computer. These types of devices include the hard disk, the
optical disk drive and USB storage device.

Hard disk drive or HDD, or sometimes called fixed disk is

an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and
retrieves digital data.
A hard disk is actually a set of stacked disks. Each disk
has data recorded electromagnetically in concentric circles, or
tracks, on the disk. A head, similar to a phonograph arm but in
a relatively fixed position, writes or reads the information on
the tracks.
A hard disk/drive unit comes with a set rotation speed
varying from 4,200 revolutions per minute to 15,000 rpm.
Most laptop and desktop PCs use hard disks that fall between
5,400 rpm and 7,200 rpm, while hard disks at higher rpm can
be found in high-end workstations and enterprise servers.

How to check RPM of a hard disk?

1. Run search bar, type msinfo32, hit enter.

10
 2. Expand Components in System Summary
3. Expand Storage
4. Select Disks
5. Specifications of the Hard disk is displayed on
the right panel of the window. Copy the Model
then paste in any search engine.

SSD: New Paradigm

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of

storage device used in computers. SSDs replace
traditional mechanical hard disks by using flash-based
memory, which is significantly faster.

NAND is a type of flash memory used in solid state

drives and has the benefit of being non-volatile, meaning
that it can retain data even with the power off.

SSD’s have specific benefits in the following areas:

1. Business- Companies work with huge amount of

data so access time and file transfer speeds are
critical
2. Gaming- For storage, as modern blockbuster
games constantly load and write files (e.g.
textures, maps, levels, characters).
3. Mobility- SSDs have low power requirements,
thus contributing to better battery life in laptops
and tablets. SSDs are also shock resistant, which
reduces the chances of data loss when mobile
devices are dropped.
4. Servers- Enterprise servers need SSDs to get fast
reads and writes in order to properly serve their
client PCs

Different types of SSD

1. 2.5” SSD- is the most familiar and currently the

most affordable. The drive itself is enclosed in a
lightweight shell and will require SATA
connectors for power and data transfer.

11
2. mSATA SSDs or Mini-SATA, refers to both the
form factor of the SSD as well as the interface.
This type of SSD is much smaller than the 2.5”
drive and is a bare circuit.

3. M.2 SSDs are similar to mSATA drives and also

come in as a bare circuit board. The difference is
that within the M.2 form factor there are a
variety of different width and length
combinations, allowing for more flexibility in its
usage. Due to its more versatile size, they are
typically used for mobile solutions such as
ultrabooks or tablets

4. PCI-Express SSDs have entered the mainstream

consumer market. This form of SSD is the most
expensive in terms of price per gigabyte but also
offers the best performance. These SSDs use the
PCI-E slot as their interface and so will be
limited to the speed of the PCI-E slot.
