Computer Hardware
5
The organization of the CPU Arithmetic & Logic unit (ALU) Control unit COORDINATES ALL OF THE COMPUTER’S OPERATIONS ALU is designed to perform mathematical operations

7
THE CPU’S JOB
8
Fetch: The CPU’s control unit fetches, from main memory, the next instruction in the sequence of program instructions CPU RAM
9
THE CPU’S JOB Decode: The instruction in encoded in the form of a number. The control unit decodes the instruction and generates an electronic signal
10
The job CPU Execute: The signal is routed to the appropriate component of the computer (such as the ALU, a disk drive, or some other device). The signal causes the component to perform an operation CPU RAM DISK DRIVE

RAM
13
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a device that holds information RAM holds the sequence of instructions in the programs that are running and the data those programs are using
14
RAM Main memory is an ordered sequence of cells, called memory cells Each cell has a unique location in main memory, called the address of the cell When the computer is turned off, RAM loses its data

Types of Software System Software Application Software Utility Software
32
System software System software is a collection of one or more programs used to control and coordinate the hardware and other application software Communicates with hardware devices. Controls and monitors the proper use of various hardware resources like CPU, memory, peripheral devices like monitor, printer etc. Supports the execution and development of other application software.
33
System Software Examples Operating system Programming language translators Communication software Compiler and Interpreters
34
Operating System software Windows OS X operating system (MAC computers) Linux UNIX
35
Operating System software difference Security Stable User friendly Ease of use Multimedia capabilities
36
Utility Software Utility software is a collection of one or more programs that helps the user in system maintenance tasks and in performing tasks of routine nature. Utility programs help the users in disk formatting, data compression, data backup, scanning for viruses etc.
37
Utility Software examples Anti-virus Registry cleaners Disk defragmenters Data backup utility Disk cleaners
38
Application Software Application software is a collection of one or more programs used to solve a specific task. Generally software used in banking industry, airline/railway reservation, generation of telephone or electricity bills etc. all fall under application software.
39
Application Software examples Word processing software Spreadsheet software Database software Education software Entertainment software
