HOW COMPUTER SYSTEM
WORKS
Prepared by:
Jm Ramos
INPUT
• Data and commands in
order to work
–Example:
Letters and Numbers
PROCESS
• Computer works on the data
and command entered into
the computer
OUTPUT
• Result displayed on the
monitor or heard on the
speaker the data is
processed
• Result of data processing
• Processed data now is
called information
PARTS OF THE COMPUTER
TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
CPU
RAM
OUPUT DEVICES
SECONDARY STORAGE
COMMON USES OF
MICROPROCESSORS
• Embedded Micro
Controllers
–Can be found inside many
household electronic
appliances cars calculator
and others
COMMON USES OF
MICROPROCESSORS
• Common Desktop or Laptop
Processor
–Can perform a wide array of
task
–Motherboards, Hard Disk etc.
COMMON USES OF
MICROPROCESSORS
• Powerful Processor
–Most powerful processor for
high – end servers
–Powerful computer
applications
PARTS OF THE CPU
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Control Unit
–Electrical signals that direct
other parts of the system to
do their work
–Read and interpret program
instructions and convert it
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Arithmetic Logic Unit
–Executes the arithmetic and
logical operations like
calculations and comparisons
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Registers
–Small but high – speed data
storage
–Temporary storage areas
that hold data and instruction
temporarily
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Memory or RAM
–Allows fast access
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Cache
–Stores memory data
–Speeds up operations by
making recently accessed
data immediately available to
the processor
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Input/Output
–Allow the processor to
communicate with the RAM,
Hard Disk and other
components inside the
computer
PARTS OF THE CPU
• System Clock
–Provides the fixed sequence
in time that cannot be
changed
–no. of ticks in one cycle is
called the clock rate
PARTS OF THE CPU
• System Clock
–The faster the clock rate, the
faster is the processor in
processing instructions
PARTS OF THE CPU
• Bus
–Three sets of wires used to
connect the CPU or
microprocessor to CPU
cache memory
• Control bus
• Address bus
• Data bus
