  5. 12. instructions installed into a computer that tell it what to do
  6. 13. collection of physical parts of a computer system
Down
  1. 1. very large computers with lots of processing power, used mostly by corporations, government agencies, and banks
  2. 3. programs that are designed for a specific purpose for the end user
  3. 4. computers that are small and mobile, and meant to be carried around and taken from place to place
  4. 6. runs hundreds of thousands of processors, capable of computer quadrillions of calculations in a few nanoseconds. used in computational science and quantum mechanics
  5. 7. can support up to about 200 users at the same time. Smaller than a mainframe, but bigger than a microcomputer. However, as microcomputers have become more advanced, the minicomputer is all but obsolete
  6. 9. three types of platforms
