Program Plan Intro
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
CPU is a part of the computer that actually runs the
- • When a task is performed, it is simply said that the code or the program is being run or executed.
- • In olden days, there are huge devices that are made up of electrical and
mechanical components such as vacuum tubes and switches. - • ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) is considered as the world’s first programmable electronic computer, that is, 8 feet tall and 100 feet long.
- • Nowadays, it is replaced by microprocessors.
Operations performed by CPU:
It performs the following operations:
- • Reading a piece of data.
- • Performing operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division of numbers.
- • Moving a piece of data from one location to another location.
These operations can be performed with the help off 0’s and 1’s; this is because, the CPU can understand only the instructions that are written in machine language.
