Computer - Cpu (Central Processing Unit) : Prepared By: Kenneth Santiago Sarboda

The CPU consists of three main components: the memory unit, control unit, and ALU. The memory unit stores instructions, data, and intermediate results and supplies this information to other CPU units. The control unit controls the operations of all computer parts by obtaining instructions from memory and directing data transfer. The ALU contains arithmetic and logic sections that perform calculations and logic operations.

COMPUTER - CPU(CENTRAL

PROCESSING UNIT)
Prepared by:
Kenneth Santiago Sarboda
CPU consists of the following
features:
CPU is considered as the brain of the computer.
CPU performs all types of data processing operations.
It stores data, intermediate results and
instructions(program).
It controls the operation of all parts of computer.
CPU itself has following three components.
Memory or Storage Unit
Control Unit
ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
Memory or Storage Unit
This unit can store instructions, data and intermediate
results.
This unit supplies information to the other units of
the computer when needed.
It is also known as internal storage unit or main
memory or primary storage or Random access
memory(RAM).
Its size affects speed, power and capability.
Primary memory and secondary memory are two
types of memories in the computer.
Functions of memory unit are:
It stores all the data and the instructions required for
processing.
It stores intermediate results of processing.
It stores final results of processing before these results
are released to an output device.
All inputs and outputs are transmitted through main
memory.
Control Unit
This unit controls the operations of all parts of
computer but does not carry out any actual data
processing operations.
Functions of this unit are:
It is responsible for controlling the transfer of data and
instructions among other units of a computer.
It manages and coordinates all the units of the
computer.
It obtains the instructions from the memory,
interprets them, and directs the operation of the
computer.
It communicates with Input/output devices for
transfer of data or results from storage.
It does not process or store data.
ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
This unit consists of two subsections namely
Arithmetic section - Function of arithmetic section
is to perform arithmetic operations like addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division. All complex
operations are done by making repetitive use of above
operations.
Logic Section - Function of logic section is to
perform logic operations such as comparing, selecting,
matching and merging of data.
