1 The processor puts the required addresses on to the address bus
2 Any addresses that invoke chip select are decoded
3 Chip select is generated
4 The processor waits for memory to settle
5 The processor generates a memory write control bit (MEMW)
6 The processor puts the data on to the data bus
7 The contents are written to a specific location on memory.
The CPU, aka, 'Central Processing Unit,' performs the caculations and logic functions of the computer. However, the CPU is not the same as a motherboard, as it is a larger board in which the CPC an other memory cards can plug into. A CPU deals with instructions it receives in a series of steps.
The only memory on the CPU is cache memory and it is only dependent on the CPU type and generation you use.
Yes, the CPU is directly addressable by the memory.
output device No The CPU and memory are located on the motherboard
Memory mapped IO uses a portion of RAM to handle IO requests. In this manner, instructions the CPU uses for reading and writing memory can also be used for IO, reducing the circuitry needed. This makes the CPU simpler, cheaper and more effecient.
A CPU does math and accesses memory.
DMA (Direct Memory Access) has high performance because the CPU does not get involved in the transfer of the individual data bytes. The DMA hardware takes care of reading or writing the device, accessing and incrementing the memory pointer, writing or reading the memory, and detecting end of block. Each transfer then only takes one or two machine cycles, and the CPU can go and do something else.
Although memory and CPUs are linked together very closely, a CPU is only important to memory when the memory is active. It is the CPU that writes to and reads from memory (or other devices that are under the control of the CPU). When the memory is idle, its only function is to retain data ready for it to be written over or read. In almost all cases. memory can do this without any intervention by a CPU. In volatile memory, a power supply needs to be provided to retain the data. Non-volatile memory on the other hand will stored data without power. An example of this kind of memory is a USB drive that can be unplugged from a USB port and retain all data without needing either a power supply or a CPU. Memory in fact is rather more important to the CPU than the other way round. The CPU operates as directed by a program that is stored in memory. Without memory, a CPU will not have a program to run so will not be able to fucntion.
STEPS:- 1.Open task manager(CTRL+ALT+DEL) 2.Click processes tab 3.Then see the CPU and memory usage by the application
CPU register is faster than memory loacations
The opcode fetched from the memory is being decoded for the next steps and moved to the appropriate registers. Fetch operands from memory if necessary: If any operands are memory addresses, initiate memory read cycles to read them into CPU registers.
