Central Processing Unit CPU or Processor
2
Central Processing Unit Components Control Unit Arithmetic & Logic Unit
3
Central Processing Unit Control Unit Reads & Interprets Program Instructions Directs the Operation of the Processor Controls the flow of programs and data into and out of memory
4
Central Processing Unit Arithmetic & Logic Unit Arithmetic: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division Logic:Comparisons
5
Central Processing Unit Machine Cycle FetchDecodeExecuteStore
6
Central Processing Unit Fetch Calls an instruction into memory
7
Central Processing Unit Decode Figures out what the instruction is trying to do
8
Central Processing Unit Execute Does the decoded instruction Add 2+2
9
Central Processing Unit Store Puts the answer 4 into memory for use by another instruction
10
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle A Crystal Oscillator on the Motherboard It paces the machine cycle
11
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle Measured in MHz or GHz Megahertz = 1,000,000 cycles/sec Gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 cycles/sec
12
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle One clock cycle is calculated by dividing 1 by the MHz or GHz Example: (800 MHz CPU) 1/800,000,000 = 0.00000000125 or 1.25 nanoseconds (nano = billionth) (1.25 billionths of a second)
13
Central Processing Unit Clock Cycle The shorter the clock cycle the faster the processor
14
Central Processing Unit Pipelining Executing multiple instructions at the same time FETCHDECODEEXECUTESTORE Instruction 1 Instruction 2 Instruction 3 Instruction 4
15
Central Processing Unit Parallel Processing Multiple processors work together to complete a set of instructions Control CPU CPU 01 CPU 02 Answer
16
Central Processing Unit Dual-Core A dual-core CPU combines two independent processors and their respective caches and cache controllers onto a single silicon chip
17
Central Processing Unit Dual-Core
