The System UnitThe System Unit• Two general parts
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - an integrated micro-circuit that translates data into information

The Control Unit (CU) within a The Control Unit (CU) within a CPU coordinates all activities of CPU coordinates all activities of the computer by determining the computer by determining which operations to perform and which operations to perform and in what order to carry them out. in what order to carry them out. The CU transmits coordinating The CU transmits coordinating control signals to other computer control signals to other computer components.components.

The ALU consists of electronic The ALU consists of electronic circuitry to perform arithmetic circuitry to perform arithmetic operations (addition, operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and subtraction, multiplication and division), logical operations division), logical operations (and, or, not, …) and to make (and, or, not, …) and to make some comparisons (less-than, some comparisons (less-than, equal, … etc.)equal, … etc.)

The System UnitThe System Unit
• Two general parts
•Memory - referred to as primary storage or random access memory (RAM), it temporarily holds data and programs for use during
processing (volatile)

Secondary StorageSecondary Storage• Stores data and programs
permanently: its retained after the power is turned off
• Located outside the CPU, but most often contained in the system cabinet

Three Kinds of Disk DrivesThree Kinds of Disk Drives
2323
Common Secondary MediaCommon Secondary Media• Diskettes
– Data represented as magnetic spots on removable flexible plastic disks
– Most common size is 3 1/2 inches, in a rigid plastic case
– Disk drive holds the diskette, reads or retrieves the data and writes or stores data
2424
Common Secondary MediaCommon Secondary Media• Hard drive
– Data is represented magnetically as with diskettes
– Normally more than one rigid platter in a sealed unit
– These disks are not removable– Significantly more capacity and faster
operating than diskettes
