The
central processing unit, The CPU, has three main parts: the Control Unit, the
Arithmetic and Logic Unit and Registers. These components are connected to the
rest of the computer by buses.
The
Arithmetic and Logic Unit, ALU for short, performs arithmetic functions like
addition and subtraction, and logic operations such as AND, OR and NOT.
The
Control Unit makes the computer carry out each instruction of a program in the
right order and controls the operation of all hardware.
Registers
are temporary storage areas for instructions or data. They work under the
direction of the control unit. The function of registers is to hold
instructions or data immediately required for an operation. The function of the
main memory is a little different: the main memory stores data required in the
near future. Registers work at high speed.
Actually,
all components of a CPU work at very high speed. Thanks to that many personal
computers can execute instructions in less than one-millionth of a second.

Buses
All
components of the CPU are connected to the rest of the computer by buses.
A
bus is a group of parallel wires which carry different signals between
different parts of the computer.
Some
buses are bidirectional, which means they allow data to flow in both
directions.
Most
computers have three main buses: the data bus, the address bus and the control
bus.
The
data bus is a bidirectional bus. It carries data and instructions from the
memory to the CPU and from the CPU to memory.
The
address bus is a unidirectional bus. Data can flow only one way - from the
processor to the memory. Data are addresses which identify places in the memory
where data or instructions may be foud or stored.
The
control bus is a bidirectional bus. It carries instructions to and from the CPU
and from the CPU and other parts of the computer.
The
control bus is a collection of lines which carry different signals. For
example, the clock line carries a signal from the clock chip to synchronize the
operations of the processor.
Task 7. Answer the questions. Дайте

The
Binary Number System
Early
digital computers inspired by Howard Aiken’s Mark were huge, sometimes filling
an entire room. That was because thousands of switches were needed to compute
his binary number system.
In
the binary number system, only two digits are recognized by the computer: 0
when a switch is off, and 1 when the switch is on. Different combinations of
those two digits can represent thousands of letters and numbers.
The
binary number system is still used in today’s computers. The difference is that
the thousands of electrical switches have been replaced by one tiny, solid-state
chip that does the translations electronically. That’s why your computer only
fills up part of your desk, not your whole bedroom.
1.
Which size were the first digital computers?
2.
How many digits does the binary number system have?
3.
How many letters and numbers can different combinations of those two digits
represent?
4.
Is the binary number system still used in today’s computers?

Some
facts from Peter Norton`s life
Nobody
knew an ordinary programmer Peter Norton in 1981. After being involved in
programming since 1969, he bought one of PCs that were just appearing on the
market. In 1982 he left his job in the aerospace industry and founded his own
firm “PETER NORTON COMPUTING”, which was supplying utilities for IBM-compatible
PCs at that time.
The
only man who was working in the company was Peter Norton himself. The main
product at that time was the Norton utilities batch which allowed the users to
recreate lost data. Gradually Norton`s name was getting famous to millions and
his products became a “brand-name”.
Peter
Norton is a bachelor of mathematics from the famous Berkeley University. At
that time he became and still is the presiding genius in the PC industry. For
more than 20 years Norton has been saving people from catastrophes with
computers. He enables them to manipulate data easily, protects from viruses and
provides data security.
