Which area of the computer holds the data and instruction that are about to be used by the central processing unit?
MAIN MEMORY
What else can I help you with?
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 is the name of central computer that holds collections of data and programs for connecting PCs?
Server
What are the 4 fundamental components of a computer system?
INPUT , CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT , SECONDARY STORAGE , OUTPUT ,
What is the difference between the system unit and CPU?
The system unit is the box where all processing takes place. All other devices are attached to it. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the heart of the computer, and is inside the system unit.
What are the four distinct actions that a machine instruction can specify?
• The processor fetches the instruction from memory • Program counter (PC) holds address of the instruction to be fetched next • PC is incremented after each fetch • Fetched instruction loaded into instruction register
What holds the central processing unit in a computer?
The CPU is usually located on the motherboard.
. Holds the central processing unit?
Mother board.
What holds the data and programs that are used by the central processing unit?
the storage
Name the part of the computer that stores all information and software?
The Hard Drive is the main storage unit in a normal, desktop computer. This is the only internal component in a standard computer that has information when the machine is turned off (all your saved files, the operating system (such as Windows), etc). There are other components (such as RAM, or Random Access Memory) that store data, but this usually serves a special purpose, or is only at run-time.
How does the CPU keep track of which instruction to execute next?
The instruction register holds a pointer to the current instruction (in working memory) while the next instruction register points to the next instruction (the first instruction immediately after the current instruction's operands). If the current instruction is a jump instruction, it can change the next instruction register, allowing the program to branch to a new instruction once the jump instruction is processed. The next instruction pointer is automatically moved into the current instruction register once the current instruction has been processed. The entire process of executing an instruction is known as the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
What holds data and programs that are being used by the central processing unit?
the storage
The component of the central processing unit that holds instructions stores data and keeps results during the processing is called the?
Control
Is a form of permanent memory that holds all the instruction the computer needs to start up?
ram

How is information derived from data?
Input devices sends data to the central processing unit. Central processing unit (CPU) excutes computer instructions. Memory holds data and programs currently in use. In the same time secondary storage devices stores data and programs. Lastly output devices make processed data (information) available.
What is the central axis?
A central axis is part of a computer system or other electronics. It is a freestanding box that holds data for these electronics.
