Study Notes
Components of a Basic Computer
- A basic computer consists of three primary components: the Input/Output (I/O) unit, the Central Processing Unit (CPU), and the Memory unit.
Memory in a Basic Computer
- The memory in a basic computer has 16 bits or 32 bits, depending on the type of computer.
Modern Processor
- A modern processor contains several key components, including the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Registers, and the Control Unit.
Pipelining in a Processor
- The ability to pipeline several consecutive instructions in a processor allows for faster processing by breaking down instructions into a series of stages, enabling the processor to work on multiple instructions simultaneously.
Initial Lecture Topic
- The initial topic discussed in the lecture is the basic components of a computer system.
