    Study Notes

    CPU Components

    • The three main parts of the CPU are: Control Unit, Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), and Registers
    • The Control Unit retrieves and decodes instructions, generates control signals, and manages data transfer
    • The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs mathematical and logical operations
    • Registers are small amounts of on-chip memory that store data temporarily while it is being processed

    Custom Software

    • Software developed for specific company requirements is called Custom Software or Tailored Software
    • It is designed to meet the unique needs and requirements of a particular organization

    Application Software

    • Application Software includes programs that perform specific tasks or functions for users
    • Examples include: Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Web browsers, and Games

    Input and Output

    • The main function of Input and Output in a computer system is to allow users to interact with the computer and view results
    • Input devices allow users to enter data, instructions, and commands
    • Output devices display the results of processing, such as text, images, and sounds

    Registers

    • The purpose of Registers in a computer system is to store data temporarily while it is being processed
    • Registers are small amounts of on-chip memory that are faster and more efficient than main memory
    • They enable the CPU to quickly access and manipulate data during processing
