Central Procesing Unit ( CPU ) Control Unit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU ] Memory Unit {RAM} Scanned with CamScanner© |p Arithmetic and Logical Unit (or ALU) As the name implies, the Arithmetic and Logical Unit (or ALU) performs arithmetic and logical functions. The arithmetic functions are addition, subtraction, multiplication division, and comparisons, whereas the _ logical functions mainly include selecting, comparing, and merging the data. The complex operations are performed by making repetitive use of the operations mentioned above. ALU is the key part of the CPU. There can be more than one ALU in a CPU. Furthermore, ALUs can be used for maintaining timers that help run the computer. Now, move forward and discuss the next part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU), ie., Control Unit (CU). Scanned with CamScannerControl Unit (CU) The control Unit is one of the crucial components of the CPU. It instructs the complete computer system to perform a particular task. It controls and coordinates the functioning of all parts of the computer. It takes instructions from memory and then decodes and executes these instructions. The Control unit mainly regulates and maintains the information's flow across the processor. It does not take part in storing data and processing. Scanned with CamScannerMemory Unit i Ads by Google Send feedback Why this ad? © It is called Random access memory (RAM). This unit temporarily stores data, programs, and intermediate and final results of processing. So, it acts as a temporary storage area that holds the data temporarily, which is used to run the computer. The memory unit supplies the data to other units of the computer whenever it is required to do so. It is also called primary storage or RAM, Scanned with CamScannerQUESTION BANK forms the backbone for building * Successful computer system.
