Processing

After data are converted into a binary form, they are available for processing. The central processing unit (CPU) performs this activity in conjunction with memory and storage. The CPU. the "brains" of the computer system, consists of a control unit and an arithmetic/logic unit (ALU).

• The control unit manages the computer system, acting like a traffic cop directing the flow of data throughout the system.

• The ALU performs all mathematical and logical functions.

One of the fundamental components linked to the CPU is memory. Just as a human requires memory to perform meaningful tasks, so does a computer. Memory is the area of the computer that stores data for processing. It comes in two forms, random access memory (RAM) and read only memory (ROM). RAM temporarily stores the data needed for the current processing task. When power to computer is turned off, data in RAM vanish. We call RAM user memory. It is the memory where your term paper resides when you write it with word processing software. ROM is permanent memory that provides the basic set of instructions for starting the computer. It contains the instructions that give meaning to keys on a keyboard, basic sounds, and access to storage devices.
