  6. Processor • The processor, also called the central processing unit (CPU), interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer • Contain a control unit and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) Page 159 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  7. Processor Click to view Web Link,click Chapter 4, Click Web Link from left navigation, then click Multi-Core Processors below Chapter 4 Page 159 Figure 4-4 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  8. Processor • The control unitis the component of the processor that directs and coordinates most of the operations in the computer • The arithmetic logic unit(ALU) performs arithmetic, comparison, and other operations Pages 159 - 160 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  9. Processor • For every instruction, a processor repeats a set of four basic operations, which comprise a machine cycle Page 160 Figure 4-5 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  10. Processor Pages 160 - 161 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  11. Data Representation Page 162 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  12. Data Representation A computer circuit represents the 0 or the 1 electronically by the presence or absence of an electrical charge Eight bits grouped together as a unit are called a byte. A byte represents a single character in the computer Page 162 Figures 4-6 – 4-7 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  13. Data Representation • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the most widely used coding scheme to represent data Page 162 Figure 4-8 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  14. Data Representation Page 163 Figure 4-9 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  15. Memory • Memory consists of electronic components that store instructions waiting to be executed by the processor, data needed by those instructions, and the results of processing the data • Stores three basic categories of items: Page 163 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  16. Memory • Each location in memory has an address • Memory size is measured in kilobytes (KB or K), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), orterabytes (TB) Page 164 Figure 4-11 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4

  17. Memory • The system unit contains two types of memory: Pages 164 - 165 Discovering Computers Fundamentals, 2011 Edition Chapter 4
