The Components of A Computer

This document contains Ahmed Ali's abstract on computer components for an Information Technology course assignment at the National University of Modern Languages, Quetta Campus. It discusses the key components of a computer system, including hardware resources like the CPU, memory, and I/O devices. It also mentions software resources like operating systems, which manage hardware allocation to applications and users, and application programs themselves. The abstract view specifically outlines the four main components as hardware, application programs, users, and the operating system interface between users and the machine.

Abstract on Computer Components


A computer system consists of many resources like hardware and
software, which are useful to complete a task. The common required
resources are input/output devices, memory, file storage space, CPU etc.
The operating system acts as a manager for all the above resources and
allocates them to specific programs and users, whenever necessary to
perform a particular task. Therefore, the operating system is the resource
manager that means it can manage the resources of a computer system
internally. The resources are processor, memory, files, and I/O devices.
An operating system is the interface between the user and the machine.
Before there were operating systems, people only used computers using
Analog signals and digital signals. Along with the development of
knowledge and technology, currently there are various operating systems
with their respective advantages.
Abstract View
The abstract view of components of computer system is as follows −
Components of Computer System
A computer system can be divided into four components, which are as
follows −
Hardware − The hardware is the physical part which we can touch
and feel, the central processing unit (CPU), the memory, and the
input/output (I/O) devices are the basic computing resources of a
computer system.
Application programs − Application programs are user or
programmer created programs like compilers, database systems, games,
and business programs that define the ways in which these resources can
be used to solve the computing problems of the users.
Users − There are different types of users like people, machines, and
even other computers which are trying to solve different problems.
Operating system − An operating system is the interface between
the user and the machine which controls and coordinates the use of the
hardware among the various application programs for the various users.
