    Study Notes

    CPU (Central Processing Unit)

    Definition:

    • The CPU, also known as the processor, is the brain of the computer that executes instructions and performs calculations.

    Functions:

    • Executes instructions in a program
    • Performs arithmetic and logical operations
    • Manages data transfer between different parts of the computer
    • Controls the flow of data and instructions

    Components:

    • Control Unit: retrieves and decodes instructions, generates control signals
    • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): performs mathematical and logical operations
    • Registers: small amount of on-chip memory that stores data temporarily

    Types:

    • Microprocessor: a CPU that contains the entire processing system on a single chip
    • Multi-core processor: a single chip with multiple processing cores

    Characteristics:

    • Clock Speed: measures the number of cycles per second (e.g., GHz)
    • Cache Memory: small, fast memory that stores frequently accessed data
    • Instruction Set Architecture (ISA): the set of instructions that the CPU can execute

    Performance Measurement:

    • Instructions Per Second (IPS): measures the number of instructions executed per second
    • Floating-Point Operations Per Second (FLOPS): measures the number of floating-point calculations per second
