Presentation Transcript

  1. Registers • A register is a fast part of a processor that holds data and instructions. • Registers work by locating where the instruction was gathered, storing it as the control unit deciphers it, storing while the ALU computes it, and storing the result.

  2. System Clock • The system clock is used to time all of the computers’ operations. • The system clock works by making electronic pulses that help set up the pace for the components of the system unit.

  3. Power Supply • A power supply gives power to an electronic device. • It turns the alternating current that it gets from a wall outlet into what the computer needs, which is a direct current.

  4. Heat Sinks, Heat Pipes, and Liquid Cooling • Heat sinks, heat pipes, and liquid cooling all help the CPU from overheating. • It is made of a thermal metal and is placed on to the processor. The thermal metal draws the heat away from the processor so it won’t overheat.

  5. Parallel Processing • Parallel processing is when there is more than one CPU performing a single program. • It works by separating a problem into pieces so that multiple CPU’s can work on a single program.

  6. Memory • Memory is the place where data, instructions, and information get temporarily stored. • Every memory unit is made up of chips. The chips combine together to form bits of data.
