The device that provides data or instructions to the computer is generally known as the mass storage device, which includes hard-drives, optical drives and solid-state drives. All data and instructions contained within these devices must be loaded into working memory before it can be physically processed by the computer. The central processing unit performs the actual processing of the instructions and data, delegating to the graphics processing unit and any other auxiliary processors as and when they are required.
