Daisy Chain

• The easiest way to add more computers into a


network is by daisy-chaining, or connecting each
computer in series to the next. If a message is
intended for a computer partway down the line,
each system bounces it along in sequence until it
reaches the destination.
• The main advantage of the daisy chain is its
simplicity. Another advantage is scalability. The
user can add more nodes anywhere along the
chain, up to a certain maximum extent.
Arithmetic Logic Unit
• An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a major
component of the central processing unit of a
computer system. It carries out arithmetic and
logic operations on the operands in computer
instruction words. The main functions of the ALU
are to do arithmetic and logic operations,
including bit shifting operations. These are
essential processes that need to be done on almost
any data that is being processed by the CPU.
Arithmetic Logic Unit
• ALUs routinely perform the following operations:
• Logical Operations: These include AND, OR, NOT, XOR,
NOR, NAND, etc.
• Bit-Shifting Operations: This pertains to shifting the
positions of the bits by a certain number of places to the
right or left, which is considered a multiplication operation.
• Arithmetic Operations: This refers to bit addition and
subtraction. Although multiplication and division are
sometimes used, these operations are more expensive to
make. Addition can be used to substitute for multiplication
and subtraction for division.
Arithmetic Logic Unit
• In some processors, the ALU is divided into
two units, an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic
unit (LU). Some processors contain more than
one AU.
CONTROL UNIT
• The control unit (CU) is a component of a
computer's central processing unit (CPU) that
directs the operation of the processor. It tells
the computer's memory,
arithmetic/logic unit and input and output
devices how to respond to a program's
instructions.
CONTROL UNIT
• A control unit works by receiving input
information that it converts into control
signals, which are then sent to the central
processor. The computer's processor then tells
the attached hardware what operations to
carry out. The functions that a control unit
performs are dependent on the type of CPU,
due to the variance of architecture between
different manufacturers.
