Computer Architecture
Processor Data-path and Control
,Processor Data-path
• Processor data-path is the hardware part of the processor that perform
the processing operations.
• The other hardware part is the control unit covered later in this session
• Processor data-path helps to understand how data is manipulated and
helps define the tasks required from the control unit
• It also helps understand how data is transferred from one component o
the processor to another component
, Processor Data-path
