Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• What is CPU?
• Brain of the computer
• Processes data
• Executes information 
• Stores data and information
temporarily
Components of CPU
• Von Neumann Architecture

• Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU)


• Performs arithmetic calculations
• Performs logical statements
• Central unit (CU)
• Performs I/O operations
• Oversees ALU operations
• Controls the flow of data
• Registers/Memory unit (MU)
• Computer memory used to
accept, transfer and store data
and instructions
Von Neumann
Architecture

• Published by John Von Neumann in 1945


• Basic principle of computer system
• Data and instructions are both stored as
binary
• Ability to store program instructions in
memory along with the data on which
those instructions operate.
Features of Von
Neumann model: 

THE PROCESSOR - PROCESSOR CAN ACCESS PROCESSOR EXECUTES


CENTRAL PROCESSING  MEMORY DIRECTLY. INSTRUCTIONS
UNIT (CPU). SEQUENTIALLY.

THE MEMORY CONTAINS A THE STORED PROGRAM


‘STORED PROGRAM’ AND CONSISTS OF INDIVIDUAL
THE DATA REQUIRED BY INSTRUCTIONS.
THE PROGRAM.
