Study Notes
Computer Components and Functions
- The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is responsible for performing arithmetic and logical operations.
Control Unit
- The Control Unit retrieves and decodes instructions, generates control signals, and manages data flow between different components.
Memory
- The Register is a small amount of memory that temporarily stores data.
Main Memory
- The Main Memory stores both program instructions and data that the computer is currently using or processing.
Registers
- General Purpose Registers are small amounts of memory that temporarily store data and are used to perform arithmetic and logical operations.
