This document discusses computer hardware and the flow of information in a computer system. It describes the basic components of a computer including the central processing unit, memory, input/output devices, and storage. It explains how data moves through the computer architecture via the bus system. The typical Von Neumann architecture is illustrated with five main functional units: the central processing unit, arithmetic logic unit, control unit, memory, and input/output units. The document also covers computer memory organization, computer buses including the system bus and expansion buses, and common external bus types like ISA, PCI, AGP, USB, and IDE.

CPU (Central processing unit)
Definition: A central processing unit is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output operations specified by the instructions.
-Adobe PowerPoint Format.
- Razu Rahman
an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a central processing unit of a computer.
In a computer system, the microprocessor is the central unit that executes and manages the logical instructions passed to it.
A microprocessor may also be called a processor or central processing unit, but it is actually more advanced in terms of architectural design and is built over a silicon microchip.

2. What is a Computer?
• Computer
– Device capable of performing computations and making logical
decisions
– Computers process data under the control of sets of instructions
called computer programs
– Personal computers: economical enough for individual
– Distributed computing: computing distributed over networks
– Client/server computing: sharing of information across computer
networks between file servers and clients (personal computers)

6. Computer Architecture (cont.)
Five major operations performed by a computer system:
1. Input
• Obtains information from input devices (keyboard, mouse)
1. Storage
• Primary
o or main memory or internal memory / memory
o the only one directly accessible to the CPU.
o The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and
executes
them as required.
o Eg: ROM (Read Only Memory): CMOS, EPROM
o RAM (Random Access Memory): SRAM, DRAM, SIMM, DIMM
• Secondary
o known as external memory or auxiliary storage
o Not directly accessible by the CPU
o Eg: Hard disk, flash memory, floppy disks

4. Output
• Outputs information (to screen, to printer, to control other devices
3. Control
8. Computer Architecture (cont.)
Basic computer functional units control
• Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) – part of CPU
Performs arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction...)
and logic decisions
• Control unit (CU) - part of CPU
Supervises and coordinates the other sections of the
computer
9. Computer Architecture (cont.)
• Central Processing Unit (CPU)
– “brain” of a computer, consisting of
• Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU): performs arithmetic
calculations (addition, subtraction...) and logic decisions (>,
<, =, ...)
• Control Unit (CU): decodes each machine instruction and
sends signal to other components for carrying out the
instruction.
– An integrated circuit (IC) that is a full central processing unit is
called a microprocessor (µp); a CPU’s current instruction and data
values are stored temporally inside the CPU in special high-speed
memory location called registers.
– CPU speed: ? MHz (M: Mega = 106
, Hz=1/sec);
10. Computer Architecture (cont.)
• Memory
– A large collection of circuits, each capable of storing bit
– Cells (words): manageable units; typical size is 8 bits (1 byte),
some machines are 16 bits (2 bytes) and some are 32 bits or 64
bits
• Byte (8 bits), KB (kilobyte, 103
≈ 210
bytes), MB (Megabyte, 106
≈ 220
bytes), GB (Gigabyte, 109
≈ 230
bytes). Note: k ≠ K
because 1000 ≠ 1024.
11. Computer Architecture (cont.)
– Computer memory is comparable to a collection of numbered
mailboxes. To identify individual cells in a machine’s main
memory, each cell is assigned a unique name, called its address
– The organization of byte-size memory cell

13. Computer’s Bus System
• A bus, in computing, is a set of physical connections (cables,
printed circuits, etc.) which can be shared by multiple hardware
components in order to communicate with one another.
• think of a bus as a highway on which data travels within a computer.
14. Computer’s Bus System (cont..)
• Purpose of buses = to reduce the number of "pathways"
needed for communication between the components, by
carrying out all communications over a single data
channel.
15. Types of Computer’s Bus
• There are generally two buses within a computer:
• Internal bus (system bus)
– Allows the processor to communicate with the system's central
memory (the RAM).
• External bus (expansion bus)
– Allows various motherboard components (USB, serial, and
parallel ports, cards inserted in PCI connectors, hard drives, CD-
ROM and CD-RW drives, etc.) to communicate with one
another.
– However, it is mainly used to add new devices using what are
called expansion slots connected to the input/output bus.
16. Types of External Buses
• There are five major types of external bus’s found on
the common motherboard.
– ISA (Industry Standard Architecture)
• This bus is the low speed work horse of the system.
• commonly find a Sound Card hooked up this type BUS.
– PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
• Supports 32-64 bit bus and is the reigning standard of
external buses.
• Fast
• slowly making the ISA fade away. Go with a PCI Bus Card
when possible.
17. Types of External Buses (cont…)
– AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
• This Bus provides from 2 to 4 times the speed of the PCI
• used for video expansion only.
• great way to go and takes a lot of stress off the CPU, thus
gaining in performance all the way around.
– USB (Universal Serial Bus)
• allows to hook up to 127 devices.
• probably going to wipe out PS/2 ports and more.
• Allows to hot swap devices or plug and unplug devices while
system is running.
• a great feature and is incorporated on most new
motherboards.
18. Types of External Buses (cont…)
– IDE (Intelligent Drive Electronics)
• used mostly for disk drives
• connects up to two devices on one connection.
• More than likely hard drive and CD-ROM are connected through
this type bus.
