Study Notes
Computer Parts
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
- Also known as the brain of the computer
- Executes instructions and performs calculations
- Components:
- Control Unit: retrieves and decodes instructions
- Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): performs calculations and logical operations
- Registers: small amount of on-chip memory for storing data temporarily
- Performance measured in:
- Clock Speed (GHz): how fast the CPU can execute instructions
- Number of Cores: multiple processing units for multitasking and increased performance
RAM (Random Access Memory)
- Temporary storage for data and applications
- Data is lost when power is turned off
- Types:
- DDR3/DDR4/DDR5: different generations with increasing speed and capacity
- SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory): synchronous with CPU clock speed
- Capacity measured in GB (Gigabytes) or TB (Terabytes)
- Importance: more RAM allows for more applications to run simultaneously and faster performance
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
- Specialized processor for graphics rendering and computation
- Components:
- CUDA Cores (NVIDIA) or Stream Processors (AMD): execute graphics and compute tasks
- Memory: dedicated video memory (VRAM) for storing graphics data
- Performance measured in:
- Clock Speed (MHz): how fast the GPU can execute instructions
- Memory Bandwidth: how fast data can be transferred between GPU and system memory
- Importance: necessary for gaming, video editing, and other graphics-intensive applications
