CPU Registers PC Arith Logic Unit Bus Interface I/O Bridge System bus Memory bus Main Memory USB Controller Graphics Adapter Disk Controller I/O Bus Mouse Keyboard Monitor Disk Expansion Slots CPU – Central Processing Unit interprets and executes instructions. Buses – electrical conduits which carry bytes (based on word size) between components. Main Memory – temporary storage for the program instructions and its static, automatic, and dynamic memory

CPU Registers PC Arith Logic Unit Bus Interface I/O Bridge System bus Memory bus Main Memory USB Controller Graphics Adapter Disk Controller I/O Bus Mouse Keyboard Monitor Disk Expansion Slots I/O devices such as mouse, keyboard, monitor, and disk are connected to the I/O bus via controllers or adapters. Controllers are typically on the computer’s motherboard; whereas, adapters are separate boards.

CPU Registers PC Arith Logic Unit Bus Interface I/O Bridge System bus Memory bus Main Memory USB Controller Graphics Adapter Disk Controller I/O Bus Mouse Keyboard Monitor Disk Expansion Slots Program Counter (PC) is a special register containing the address of the next instruction to execute. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs computations, comparisons, logic, and shifts. Registers are used as high-speed intermediate memory accessible by the ALU.
