1.1.1b The Function of The CPU - Answers - BrainQuest

The document summarizes the key components of the CPU and their functions: 1) The Control Unit manages and monitors hardware, ensures correct data routing, and manages the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle. 2) The Immediate Access Store stores data to be immediately processed and delivers it quickly to the ALU. 3) The Arithmetic Logic Unit performs calculations and logical operations on data under instruction from the Control Unit.

- It manages and monitors hardware on the computer to ensure
Data? A: the correct data goes to the correct hardware.
CONTROL - It manages the input and output signals ensuring these are
UNIT dealt with correctly.
RAM - It manages the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle.

CPU
Yep! Here it is! B:
IMMEDIATE - Stores the data which is to be immediately processed…
ACCESS - …delivering the data to the ALU at speed.
STORE

- This is where the CPU actually carries out the maths and logic
Communicates the address of the memory location where data is to be

C: It has two parts:
ARITHMETIC - Arithmetic part, which performs calculations on the data, e.g.
LOGIC UNIT 3+2=5
- Logic part – which deals with logical operations such as is
Data Bus Transfers data and instructions between the RAM and the CPU.
