Class 11 Computer Science Notes

Chapter 1 – Computer System (■■■■■■■■


■■■■■■■)

1.1 Introduction to Computer System


A computer system is an electronic device that takes input, processes it according to instructions,
stores data, and produces output.

Functions: Input, Processing, Storage, Output.


Block Diagram: Input → CPU → Memory → Output

1.2 Evolution of Computer


1st Gen: Vacuum Tubes (ENIAC)
2nd Gen: Transistors (IBM 1401)
3rd Gen: ICs (IBM 360)
4th Gen: Microprocessors (Apple I)
5th Gen: AI, Parallel Processing (Robots)

1.3 Computer Memory


Primary: RAM, ROM
Secondary: HDD, SSD
Cache: Fast temporary memory
Virtual: Hard disk used as temporary RAM
Units: Bit → Byte → KB → MB → GB → TB

1.4 Data Transfer between Memory and CPU


CPU and Memory communicate via buses:
Address Bus, Data Bus, Control Bus.
Steps: Request → Transfer → Execute

1.5 Microprocessors
Microprocessor = CPU brain.
Performs Fetch, Decode, Execute.
Example: Intel i3, i5, i7, AMD Ryzen.

1.6 Data and Information


Data: Raw facts (e.g., 98, 75).
Information: Processed data (e.g., Average = 86.5).

1.7 Software
System Software: OS, Drivers
Application Software: Word, Excel
Utility Software: Antivirus, Compression tools.

1.8 Operating System


OS = Interface between user and hardware.
Functions: Memory, Process, File, Device Management.
Examples: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android.

Important Questions
1. Components of Computer System: Input, Output, CPU, Memory.
2. Data vs Information: Data = raw facts; Information = processed data.
3. Functions of OS: Memory, file, device management, user interface.

Python Example
import platform
print('System:', [Link]())
print('Processor:', [Link]())
print('Python Version:', platform.python_version())

Diagram Summary
Input → CPU → Memory → Output
