Central Processing Unit(CPU) • The part of the computer performs the bulk of data processing operations is called the central processing unit. • Central processing unit etched on silicon chip called microprocessor. • Contain tens of millions of tiny transistors.
Components of the CPU The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is the main unit that dictates the rest of the computer organization. • Register set: Stores intermediate data during the execution of instructions. • Arithmetic logic unit (ALU): Performs the required micro-operations for executing the instructions. • Control unit: supervises the transfer of information among the registers and instructs the ALU as to which operation to perform by generating control signals.

Central Processing Unit = “brain” • Executes programs by: • Fetching and decoding the next instruction from memory • Execute it • Consists of: • Control Unit • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) • Registers (high-speed memory) • Program Counter (PC) • Instruction Register (IR) Control Unit Arithmetic Logic Unit • I/O Devices Main Memory Disk Printer Registers Bus
CPU REGISTERS • Hold intermediate results and frequently needed data items • Used only by currently executing program • Implemented within the CPU, contents can be read or written quickly • Increasing their number usually decreases program execution time to a point • Store information about currently executing program and about status of CPU Continue…..
Manufacturers • Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are the two largest manufacturers of CPU’s. • Intel is substantially larger than AMD but they both make CPU’s found commonly in computer systems.
MOTHER BOARD A motherboard is the physical arrangement in a computer that- • Contains the computer’s basic circuitry and components. On the typical motherboard, the circuitry is imprinted or affixed to the surface of a firm planar surface and usually manufactured in a single step.
CONROL UNIT(CU) Control unit controls operations of other parts of CPU as well as all parts of computer by sending a control signal, for example • control sequence of instructions to be executed • Control flow of data among all parts of computer • Interpret • Instructions • Regulate timing of processor • Send control single to and receive control single from peripheral devices.
ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC UNIT(ALU) Arithmetic and logical unit consists of a complicated set of logic circuit and accumulator. It is mainly responsible for- • Calculation • Logical comparison and decision
