what mainframe computer is and how it works
In: 33
At my job we have a bunch of machines producing goods that inspectors pick off the machines and package. Each machine has a windows computer at the end the inspectors use to log what they took and the quality of the product.
Now we have a lot of these computers; it’d cost a lot of money to buy a windows image for every computer so instead we have one large linux computer with UNGODLY amount of resources running virtual instances (virtual machines) of the windows os and then sending the gui to the machine terminals.
To answer the question, the computer with ungodly resources simulating other computers and passing the screen to another machine is the mainframe.
