Organization of Computer

 Computer has mainly two parts:


1. Hardware
2. Software
Organization of Computer
Processors/CPU

 Brain of the computer


 All major computations and
comparisons are made inside the CPU
 Responsible for activating and
controlling the operations of other units
of the computer
 Eg: Intel core i3, core i5, core i7, AMD
Quadcore
 Functions of CPU are performed by
three components – ALU, CU and
Registers
CPU

Main attributes of CPU:


(a) Data Width/Word size: it refers to the number of bits of data that can be
manipulated within the CPU at one given time
 Computers have data width ranging from 8 to 64 bits.
 Higher data width means the CPU is capable of processing data faster.
(b) Address Range: it refers to the amount of memory that can be directly read or
written by the CPU
(c) Clock Speed: every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate
at which instructions are executed. CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks
(clock cycles) to execute the each instructions. Clock speed is the speed of CPU
CPU

a. ALU
 Arithmetic Logic Unit
 The actual operations specified in the instructions are carried in ALU
 Performs calculations and logical operations such as comparisons and decision
making
CPU

b. CU
 Control Unit
 It invokes the other units to take charge of the operation they are associated
with
 It is the central nervous system that manages and coordinates all other units of
the computer

c. Registers
 Temporary storage elements that facilitate the functions of CPU
CPU
Important registers inside CPU:
 Accumulator: used to store data to perform arithmetic and logical operation.
The result of an operation stored in accumulator
 Memory Address Register (MAR): stores address of a memory location to
which data is either to be read or written by the processor
 Memory Buffer Register (MBR): It holds the data, either to be written to or
read from the memory by processor
 Instruction Register (IR): instructions to be executed by processor are stored
here
 Program Counter: holds the address of the next instruction to be executed by
the processor
Units of Data Measurements
0 or 1 = 1 Bits
4 Bits = 1 Nibble
8 Bits = 1 Byte
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilo Byte (KB)
1024 KB = 1 Mega Byte (MB)
1024 MB = 1 Giga Byte (GB)
1024 GB = 1 Tera Byte (TB)
1024 TB = 1 Peta Byte (PB)
1024 PB = 1 Exa Byte (EB)
1024 EB = 1 Zeta Byte (ZB)
1024 ZB = 1 Yota Byte (YB)
1024 YB = 1 Bronto Byte (BB)
1024 BB = 1 Geop Byte
Storage Unit/Memory Unit

 Functions of storage unit are to hold or store:


a. Data and instructions required for processing
b. Intermediate results for ongoing processing
c. Final result of processing, before releasing to the output unit
 Divided as Primary Memory & Secondary Memory
Memory

Primary Memory:
o It is often referred to as the working memory or the main memory of a
computer system.
o Access directly by the CPU
o It is capable of sending and receiving data at a very high speed.
o Mainly three types: RAM, ROM and Cache Memory
Random Access Memory (RAM)

 Mein memory that microprocessor can read from and write to


 Contents will lost when the power is switched off
 Known as volatile memory
 Speed of RAM refers to how fast the data in memory is accessed, it is measured
in Mega Hertz (MHz)
 When a computer is in use, its RAM contains the following:
1. The OS software
2. Application software currently being used
3. Any data that is being processed
Read Only Memory (ROM)

 It is a permanent memory that can perform only read operations and its
contents cannot be easily altered
 Non volatile; contents are retained even after power is switched off
 Used to hold boot up program known as BIOS
 Slower than RAM
 Modified types of ROM:
1. PROM – Programmable Read Only Memory, which can be programmed
only once
2. EPROM – Erasable Programmable ROM, can be erased using ultra violet
radiation and can be programmed using special electronic circuit
3. EEPROM – Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM, can be erased and
rewritten electrically
Cache Memory
 Small and fastest memory between the processor and Main memory
 Frequently accessed data, instructions, intermediate results etc. are stored in
cache memory for quick access.
 If a processor wants to read from or write to RAM, if first check whether a copy
of that data is in the cache. If so, the processor immediately reads the cache,
which is much faster than reading from RAM
Secondary Memory

 Permanent and non volatile


 Larger in size but slower than RAM
 Used for transferring data from one computer to another
 Also act as a backup
 Major types of secondary storage devices are: Magnetic, optical, semiconductor
memory
Magnetic Storage Devices

 Prints information and data from the computer on to a paper
 Based on the technology used, it can be classified as impact or non-impact
printers
 Impact printer: Use typewriting or printing mechanism where a hammer strikes
the paper through a ribbon in order to produce output. Eg: Dot-matrix printer
 Non Impact printers: It do not touch the paper while printing. Use different
technologies to print character on paper. Eg: Inkjet, Laser and Thermal printers
 Two factors that determine the quality of printers are
1. Resolution – Measured in terms of DPI
2. Speed – Measured as CPS, LPM, PPM
Dot-matrix Printer
 In dot matrix printer the print head physically "hits" the paper through the
ribbon and produces text (or images) by combinations of dots; hence the name
dot matrix printer. Its speed is measured in characters per second (CPS).
Inkjet Printer
 It is a printer that places extremely small droplets of ink onto paper to create
an image. It sprays ink onto paper to form characters and prints high quality
text and graphics.
Laser Printer
 Laser printer produces good quality output. The image to be printed is
transferred to a drum using a laser beam. The toner powder from the cartridge
is then sprayed on the drum.
 Laser printers are faster and their speed is measured in pages per minutes
(PPM)
