Cpu

The document describes key components of a CPU, including the arithmetic logic unit, control unit, clock speed, registers, and buses. The arithmetic logic unit performs calculations, while the control unit manages operations by fetching and translating instructions. Additionally, it explains the role of registers in storing data and the function of different types of buses in facilitating communication between the CPU and other components.

CPU

arithmetic logic unit

a digital circuits in a computer which carries


out arithmetic and logical operations
Control
unit
subcomponent of a CPU that manages a
computer's operations. The control unit
fetches instructions from the CPU's
memory and translates instructions into
control signals
clock

Your CPU processes many instructions from


different programs every second. Some of
these instructions involve simple arithmetic,
while others are more complicated. The clock
speed measures the number of cycles your
CPU executes per second, measured in GHz
(gigahertz).
register

Registers are small storage units inside a CPU


that hold data, instructions, and the current
status of the processor. They enable the CPU to
execute tasks quickly and efficiently.
bus

Address bus - carries memory addresses from


the processor to other components such as
primary storage and input/output devices.
Data bus - carries the data between the
processor and other components.
Control bus - carries control signals from the
processor to other components.
