Hmmm, a CPU (processor) stores no data. RAM or Memory can store data as long as the computer is ON and the Hard Drive can store data indefinately (forever).

What stores the data that the CPU actively uses?

The CPU registers. If the data is too large to physically store in a register, the register stores the memory address containing the data instead (usually a RAM address but could be any address in the physical address space, including ROM and graphic memory). On a 32-bit system, data registers need to be at least 32-bits long in order to store memory addresses.


Where will the CPU store data for easy access and quick retrieval during these computations?

CPU's will have a number of small local data storage points called "registers". These registers only hold small amounts of data and provide the fastest possible access.

What is bus interconnection?

Bus interconnection is important component of computer: architecture. It is a communication channel. It connects various components of computer to communicate with each other. The instruction (I) bus allows communication between the CPU and memory. It carries to the CPU the program instruction words to be operated on by the CPU from memory or returns instructions to memory. The I bus is controlled by the CPU. It is capable of sending or receiving data while the operand(O) bus is receiving or sending data at the same time, but only in one direction at a time. Operand (O) Bus The operand (O) bus allows communication between the CPU and memory or the CPU and an I/O Controller (IOC). The CPU controls the operation in both cases. The O bus is capable of sending or receiving data, while the I bus is receiving or sending data at the same time, but only in one direction at a time. The direction of the data depends on whether the CPU is reading data from memory or data is being written back into memory.


How do registers, as a crucial component of memory, contribute to the overall performance of a computer system?

Registers, as a crucial component of memory, contribute to the overall performance of a computer system by providing fast access to data and instructions for the CPU. They store small amounts of data that the CPU needs to process quickly, reducing the time it takes for the CPU to retrieve and manipulate information. This helps improve the speed and efficiency of the computer system's operations.

What is the term for very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory?

Very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory is called cache.


How does cache work?

Cache memory is a place for the CPU to store important data but still have quick access to it. The cache acts as a middleman, providing data to the CPU at full speed while it is obtaining data from the SDRAM.

What is the storage capacity of CPU?

CPU's or central processing units do not actually store data. There is a minimal amount of data on board but the storage takes place on the hard and solid state drives.


Does data use the CPU?

The CPU processes data, so data would be using the CPU.

Which of the devices store information for a short time?

Devices that store information for a short time include RAM (Random Access Memory), cache memory, and registers within the CPU. These types of memory are used to hold data that is actively being processed or accessed, allowing for quick retrieval and manipulation. Unlike long-term storage solutions like hard drives or SSDs, they lose their data when power is turned off.
