The CPU is a computer subsystem that performs operations on data. A register is a stand-alone storage location that holds data temporarily, and an ALU is a unit that can add two inputs. A control unit with five wires can define up to 16 operations. Direct memory access allows an I/O device to transfer data directly to and from memory without involving the CPU.
