IDENTIFY THE COMPONENTS OF THE CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT AND HOW THEYWORK TOGETHER AND INTERACT WITH MEMORY1. Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU) – performs calculations2. Control Unit (CU) – directs the computer system to perform a calculation, access memory, do a read/write operation3. Registers – temporarily holdsa. data brought from memory while waiting to be used by the ALUb. intermediate results to be sent to memoryB. DESCRIBE HOW PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS ARE EXECUTED BY THE COMPUTER1. CU gets an instruction and places it in memory2. CU decodes the instruction3. CU notifies the appropriate part of hardware to take action4. Control is transferred to the appropriate part of hardware5. Task is performed6. Control is returned to the CUC. EXPLAIN HOW DATA IS REPRESENTED IN THE COMPUTER1. Circuit with current = ON2. Circuit without current = OFF3. Represent on/off circuits using binary numbers – ON=1, OFF=04. Dataa. Bit – binary digit: one circuit that is either on or off (1 or 0)b. Byte – eight bits that together represent alphanumeric data according to a predefined coding schemei. ASCIIii. EBCDICiii. Unicodec.
