  5. Learning Objectives (cont’d.) • Describe the structure and function of the central processing unit (CPU). • Describe how is data stored and retrieved using common forms of secondary storage? © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  6. Computer Organization Information System Hardware © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  7. What is a computer • A computer is a device that is • Electronic • Can store data • Can store and follow a set of software instructions, called a program. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  8. Input Devices • An input device accepts data from outside the computer and converts it into an electronic form the computer can understand. • Examples include a keyboard, mouse, scanner, digital pen, and digital tablet. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  9. Output Devices • An output device converts data from an electronic form inside the computer to a form that can be used outside the computer. • Examples include a screen, monitor, printer, and fax. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  10. Primary Storage • Primary storage, also called internal storage, is the “memory”, or RAM, of the computer. • Primary storage, which is temporary storage, is dependent upon continuous electrical power. Any interruption of electrical power causes the contents of primary storage to be lost. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  11. Central Processing Unit (CPU) • The CPU, or processor, carries out the instructions of the program. It contains circuits that perform arithmetic and logical operations. • Data is transferred from primary storage to the CPU with the results sent back to primary storage. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  12. Secondary Storage • Secondary storage, also called auxiliary storage, stores data not currently being processed by the computer and represents permanent storage. • Data is usually transferred to and from primary storage. • Examples include hard disks, floppy disks, ZIP disks, CDROMs, and DVDs. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  13. Input and Output Devices Information System Hardware © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  14. Keyboards • Most widely used input device. • Possible physical problems include • Repetitive strain injuries • Carpal tunnel syndrome • Ergonomically designed keyboards may improve user comfort and efficiency and reduce risk of injury. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  15. Pointing Devices • Mouse • Trackball • Trackpoint • Trackpad, also called a touchpad • Cursor © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  18. Magnetic Scanning Input Devices • Magnetic strip reader • Credit cards • ID Cards • Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) – used at the bottom of all checks by the banking industry. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  19. Voice Input Devices • Voice recognition software • Dragon Naturally Speaking • Via-Voice • Uses a microphone connected to the computer and translates the spoken word to text output. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  20. Digital Input Devices • Digital cameras that produce photographic quality images. • Cameras connected to the computer for “live” images. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  21. Screens, or Monitor, or CRT • Key elements of a “screen” include: • Pixels – picture elements arranged as a pattern of dots. • Screen resolution – the number of pixels that can be displayed on a screen at one time. • Refresh rate – the number of times per second that screen “repaints” itself. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  22. Screens, or Monitor, or CRT (cont’d.) • Types of monitors • Traditional “tube” monitors, or cathode ray tube (CRT). • Flat-panel screens – most common type is liquid crystal display (LCD). • Screen projector used to display a computers output on a large screen. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  23. Printers • Printer classifications • Impact printer • Nonimpact printer • Serial printers • Line printers • Page printers • Letter-quality printers • Draft-quality printers © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  24. Desktop printers • Ink-jet, or bubble-jet printer • Typically 200 to 300 characters per second • Laser printers • Typically between 4 and 24 pages per minute. • Dot matrix printer • Typically between 200 and 300 characters per second. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  25. High volume printers • Line printers • High end line printers can print as much as 3,600 lines per minute (at 60 lines per page, that is 60 page per minute) and can cost $50,000. • Page printers • High end page printers can print as much as 200 pages per minute and can cost $100,000. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  26. Other Output Devices • Plotters • Voice output devices – converting digitized data into synthesized speech • Sound output devices – speakers • Specialized devices for people with disabilities – can include large typeface screens, Braille display devices, special pointing devices, or headphones. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  27. Virtual Reality • Virtual reality is the use of a computer to produce realistic images and sounds in such a way that the user senses that he or she is a part of the scene. • Examples include architectural design, home remodeling, aircraft design, machine design, and more. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  28. Primary Storage Information System Hardware © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  29. Primary Storage Structure • Input data is stored in primary storage (memory) after it is received from an input device. • Output data is stored in primary storage before it is sent to an output device. • Without sufficient primary storage, it may not be possible to execute certain programs or use certain data. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  30. Primary Storage Structure (cont’d.) • Silicon chips – integrated circuits • Volatile storage – dependent upon continuous power • Random Access Memory (RAM) • Non-volatile storage • Read-Only Memory (ROM) © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  31. Primary Storage Structure (cont’d.) • Binary representation • A combination of positive and negative electrical charges, represented by 1s and 0s when written to represent a character. • One “charge” is called a bit. • Eight bits are required to represent a single character, called a byte. • The 256 possible (28) binary combinations are defined in character set. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  32. Primary Storage Structure (cont’d.) • Personal computer character set • ASCII – American Standard Code for Information Interchange • Mainframe computer character set • EBCDIC – Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code • Though each contains 256 characters, the definitions are not the same, so a “translator” is required for one machine type to “talk” with the other machine type. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  33. Primary Storage Structure (cont’d.) • Storage locations of the “bytes” are called allocation units each of which has a unique address. • Storage capacities • Kilobyte (KB) or 1024 bytes (210) – approximately 1,000 bytes, thus the “kilo” • Megabyte (MB) or 1,048,756 bytes (220) • Gigabyte (GB) or 1,073,741,824 bytes (230) • Terabyte (TB) or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (240) © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  34. The Central Processing Unit Information System Hardware © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  35. Two Main Parts of a CPU • Arithmetic-Logic Unit (ALU) • May add, subtract, multiply and divide two numbers. More complex operations are are completed by using sequences of the four basic operations. • Control Unit • Analyzes and executes instructions in a program. Instructions are brought in one at a time from primary storage. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  36. CPU Speed • Early CPUs processed 8 or 16 bits at a time. • Current CPUs process 32 bits, and some can process 64 or 128 bits at a time. • The “roadway” from primary storage to the CPU is the bus. Higher bus capacities mean faster computers. © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e

  37. CPU Speed (cont’d.) • Clock speed • Measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). • One MHz is one million cycles per second. • One GHz is one billion cycles per second. • Earliest IBM PCs ran at 4.77 MHz. • Current PCs run at or above 1,000 MHz (1 GHz). © 2001 Business & Information Systems 2/e
