Hardware Computer case, keyboard, and monitor
Sofware Organized information in the form of operating systems,
utilities, programs, and applications that enable computers to
work.
Information Technology Any computer-based tool that people use to work with
(IT) information and support the information and
information-processing needs of an organization
Central Processing Unit Brain of the computer that performs instructions defined by
(CPU) software
Hard Disk A data storage unit inside a computer that can store a large
quantity of data (60GB or more)
Input Data that is entered into the computer system via an input or
storage device.
Output Data that is send out of the computer.
Practice questions for this set
, Peripheral Device Devices that communicate with the CPU but are not located
directly on the motherboard(not part of the computer), such
as the monitor, floppy drive, printer, and mouse.
CPU Speed Measured in MHz (Megahertz) or GHz (Gigahertz).
Also referred to as the CPU clock.
RAM Speed Measure in MHz or Bytes. This measured the amount of
time it takes the module to deliver a data request
CPU Functions Fetch, Decode, Execute and Store
Fetch Each instruction is stored in memory and has its own
address. The processor takes this address number from
the program counter, which is responsible for tracking
which instructions the CPU should execute next.
Decode Decode: All programs to be executed are translated to into
Assembly instructions. Assembly code must be decoded into
binary instructions, which are understandable to your CPU.
This step is called decodin
Execute While executing instructions the CPU can do one of three
things: Do calculations with its ALU, move data from one
memory location to another, or jump to a different
address.
Store The CPU must give feedback after executing an instruction,
and the output data is written to the memory.
Random Access RAM is used for both read and write while ROM is used only
Memory(RAM) & Read for reading.
Only Memory (ROM)
