What controls almost all function on a computer?
Well there are many devices which share the logical responsibility of running a total computer but I believe the device you're thinking of or looking for would be the CPU. Or Central processing unit. This is the "brain" of the CPU that performs instructions and mathematical calculations. When you launch a program, it's running on shared cycles of a CPU. Hope that helps!
What 4 component make up a computer system?
According to Intel: Input, Output, Processing and Storage. Input devices send data and instructions to the central processing unit. Processing executes computer instructions. Memory holds data and programs temporarily. Output devices make processed data available to the user. Storage devices store data and programs permanently.
What device is used to transfer data and instructions into the computer?
An "Input Device".
The Instruction set refers to the commands that a CPU knows how to complete?
Yes, Instruction Set is the list of OPCODES that CPU (Processor) understands & performs on those instructions (i.e. enables devices to communicate, process received instructions & directing towards the right output devices).
What computer components does specific tasks for your computer?
The main components that constitute primary components of Computers are: ........ Input Devices.........Processing Unit.............Output devices. Processing Unit (CPU containing Motherboard, Processor, RAM, HDD) processes (according to the instructions) signals received from Input Devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Pointers, Microphone etc). After processing signals are sent to Output devices (Monitor Screen, Speakers).
What is the definition of processing devices?
Processing devices are those devices which are used for processing the computer system. For example:mother board, video card,sound card etc.
What computer componets convert raw data into significant information and interpret software instructions and control output devices?
Central Processing Unit (CPU).
The CPU writes data and instructions in storage devices and performs calculations and other data processing?
Yes it is hard to visualize but yes, the CPU does everything from mundane things like fetch the lastest game to biometric physics...But CPUs are built for different jobs. The data is put in "Registers" inside the CPU. These registers act like work benches to organize what needs to be done first. There is a register for normal processing and a Register for math computations. This is called the Arithmetic Logic Unit. Those work together moving billions of line of code a second..hope this helps. Answer: CPU
What are two types of operations a computer performs?
•Input devices-Used to input data into the computer -Keyboards, mice, scanners, cameras, microphones, joysticks, touch pads, touch screens, fingerprint readers, etc. •Processing devices -Perform calculations and control computer's operation -Central processing unit (CPU) and memory •Output devices -Present results to the user -Monitors, printers, speakers, projectors, etc. •Storage devices-Used to store data on or access data from storage media -Hard drives, CD/DVD discs and drives, USB flash drives, etc. •Communications devices -Allow users to communicate with others and to electronically access remote information -Modems, network adapters, etc.
3 basic operations perform by a computer?
Recieving data Input Processing data (with the help of ALU and CU) Prcessing Forwarding data to output devices Output
What is atmel microcontroller?
A specific brand of microcontrollers. Atmel = company microcontroller = small device capable of processing, i.e. making calculations, make logic decisions and communicate to external devices.
What is the subsystem of multiplication?
Central Processing Unit (CPU)Controls most of the activities of the computer, performs the arithmetic and logical operations, and contains a small amount of very fast memory.MemoryProvides storage for the instructions for the CPU and the data they manipulate.Input/Output (I/O)Communicates with the outside world and with mass storage devices (e.g., disks, network, USB).
