The central processing unit (CPU) is the main component of a computer that processes data. It consists of three main parts: the register set for intermediate data storage, the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) for performing arithmetic and logical operations, and the control unit for directing data flow. The CPU fetches and decodes instructions from memory and executes them using these components. A general register organization uses a bus system to connect the registers to the ALU. It includes multiplexers to select registers for the ALU inputs, a decoder to select the destination register, and control signals to specify operations. An example shows how a control word encodes the selection of registers and arithmetic subtraction operation.

2. En Francia chámase a “Nuit du Réveillon”.
En París o lugar máis representativo é a
Torre Eiffel, onde se agrupa toda unha
multitude para presenciar o espectáculo de
luces e brindar con champaña. É moi común
que ao dar a media noite os noivos se dean
un bico baixo un visgo.
3. O 11 de febreiro de 2013, desafiando o inverno na
meseta tibetana, comeza a celebración do Aninovo ou
Losar, prolongándose durante dúas semanas máis deica a
nova lúa chea.
O festival ten as súas orixes no antigo Tíbet, antes da
chegada do budismo, cando Bon era a relixión dominante
e moitos rituais ían destinados a aplacar os malos
espíritos e agraciar as deidades para asegurar unha boa
colleita cada ano. Losar céntrase na purificación e
preparación para o novo ano.
Antes da entrada do novo ano hai un período en que
realizan rituais complexos, que inclúen unha confusión de
fume branco e danzas de máscaras, simbolizando unha
batalla entre o ben e o mal. Fanse ofrendas aos deuses
para pedirlles protección e afánanse en limpar as casas
para purificar os pecados e entrar puros no novo ano.
Os primeiros días do ano a familia re, realizan ofrendas
aos mosteiros con incenso e bandeiras de oración.
Ademais, non se reduce a unha festa familiar, é unha festa
en comunidade. Nestes días visitan os veciños e amigos
que os apoiaron durante o ano pasado e fanlles regalos,
comen alimentos especiais, doces e polas noites hai
cantos e bailes acompañados de viño de cebada.
4. En Arxentina e en Ecuador coinciden no
costume de queimar un manequín de
madeira ou outros materiais para

ano que termina. Por suposto, non lles
faltan os fogos artificiais, o asado aos
arxentinos e a rumba aos ecuatorianos.
5. A celebración na véspera de Aninovo chámase Hogmanay. Os escoceses teñen o
costume de prenderlle lume a un barril e facelo rodar polas rúas para dar paso
ao novo ano. Ademais, teñen a crenza de que o primeiro que pise a casa onde
se vai realizar a celebración, traerá sorte durante todo o novo ano.
6. En Rusia, o fin de ano é semellante ao Nadal
para o resto do mundo, pero a Papá Noel
substitúeo o Avó de Xeo, un velliño que
percorre os fogares repartindo doces,
xoguetes e bonecas matrioskas
7. O 10 de febreiro de 2013 comezar conmemoración durará 15 días, ata o Festival da
Lanterna. Na véspera de Aninovo, a xente prepara desde cedo flores naturais e froitas para
facerlle ofrendas ao Emperador de Xade, así como aos deuses e antepasados, como
agradecemento polas bendicións do ano que pasou e pedindo polo novo ano que comeza.
Despois dunha limpeza profunda da casa, toda a familia adoita pegar en ambos os lados
das portas papeis vermellos con mensaxes de bos desexos co fin de sorte. Orixinalmente
escribíanse sobre madeira de pexegueiro e hoxe queda a tradición dos amuletos de
pexegueiro. Arredor da estufa colocan varias moedas, que representan a prosperidade.
Para asegurarse plenitude e evitar desgrazas, sérvense os patos ou polos enteiros, coa
cabeza e as patas sen cortar, ao igual ca o resto dos ingredientes.
Esa noite regalanlle diñeiro aos nenos nun sobre vermello para que os protexa do fantasma
Sui mentres dormen. Pola súa parte, os adultos agardan espertos a chegada do novo ano.
8. En Italia inician a “Notte di Capodanno” cunha cea acompañada de lentellas, símbolo de
prosperidade. Tamén adoitan regalar roupa interior de cor vermella ás mulleres e o máis

unha etapa e recibir o ano renovado.
9. Songkran é o Ano Novo budista tailandés. Segundo o calendario budista o ano que entra será
o 2556, xa que Siddhartha Gautama (Buda) morreu 543 anos antes do nacemento de Cristo.
As celebracións levaranse a cabo do 13 ao 15 de abril de 2013.
É mundialmente coñecido o seu Festival de Auga, unha auténtica guerra de mangueiras,
pistolas de auga e caldeiros, que tivo un principio máis espiritual. Tradicionalmente tirábase
a auga ás figuras de Buda dos templos e usábase esa mesma auga, bendicida, para mostrar
respecto aos maiores e darlles boa sorte mollándolles o lombo. Con temperaturas que
poden pasar de 40 ºC é a mellor forma de festexar a entrada do Aninovo.
10. Os daneses aproveitan esta
data para demostrarlles
aos seus seres queridos o
aprezo que lles teñen
lanzando en fronte das
casas destes pratos vellos
que foron acumulados
durante o ano. Cantos máis
pratos rotos se acumulan
no seu xardín, máis
apreciados son.
