The CPU: The Real

Computer

The CPU is often called processor

Performs the transformations of
input into output.
Every computer has at least one CPU
to interpret and execute the
instructions in each programme
T

The central processing unit (CPU) is the

hardware component that executes the steps
in a software program.
Contains the circuitry to perform a variety
of simple tasks called instructions.
An individual instruction does only a tiny
amount of work.
Most CPUs have a vocabulary fewer than
1,000 distinct instruction.
All computers programs are composed of
instructions drawn from this tiny

How it
Works: The

Computer parts
The motherboard is a collection of electronic
circuits.
Processors designed by AMD (Advanced Micro
Devices) are compatible with the ones made by
Intel.
The microprocessors internal clock is a timing
device that produces electrical pulses to
synchronize the computers operations.

When choosing a
computer
The essential CPU has two
important factors:
Compatibility: Not all software
is compatible with every
CPU.
For example, chips in
Intels Core i7 processor
family are backward
compatible with the
Core i5, Core i3, Core 2
duo, Celeron, Pentium,
486, 386, and 286 chips

Performance: Some processors are

much faster than others.
For example, two processors may
have the same clock speed, but
one processor may outperform
the other if it can access its
memory faster.
Multicore processors- a single chip
that contains multiple cores that
run simultaneously.

Graphic processing unit (GPU) Handle 3-D Graphics

freeing the CPU to work on other tasks.
Ram (Random Access Memory) primary storage. It stores
programme instructions and data temporary. Chips
modules into motherboard DIMMS.
ALU (Arithmetic logic unit) 32 to 64 bits in size
ROM (read only memory)
CMOS RAM (low energy kind of RAM that stores small
amounts of data)
Flash Memory rapidly and repeatedly

Memory
Memory is the work area of the CPU.
Is made of millions of tiny storage cells, each of which can
contain a single byte of info.
PCs contain a large amount of random access memory (RAM).
Ram chips are usually grouped on small circuit boards called
dual in-line memory modules (DIMMS) and are plugged into
the motherboard.
1.When you turn the computer, the CPU begins executing
system instructions stored in the read-only memory (ROM)
2.The executing instructions help the system to start up.

Buses, Ports, and Peripherals

Information travels between components on the
motherboard through groups of wires called Internal
buses (buses) which usually consist of 32 or 64 wires.
Buses connect to storage devices in bays (open areas in
the system box for disk drives and other devices) and
also to expansion slots (slots) inside the computers
housing.
Users customize their computers by inserting specialpurpose circuit boards called expansion cards (cards)
Buses (external buses) also connect to ports (sockets
on the outside of the computer chassis) which usually are
used to attach peripherals (external devices that allow
the CPU to communicate with the outside information

Ports

Buses
Connect devices for disk drive Internal
buses 36-64.
They are used to transport information
between components on the
motherboard.
External buses wires used to connect
the peripherals

Green Computing
Buy green equipment: many moderns
computers
and
peripherals
are
specifically designed to consume less
energy.
Use a laptop: Portable computers use
far
less
energy
than
desktop
computers. Theyre engineered to
preserve precious battery power.
Take
advantage
of
energy-saving
features: Most systems can be set up to
go to sleep and turn off the monitor or
printer when idle for more than an hour
or so.

 Turn it off when youre away

Save energy, not screens: Use sleep
as your screensaver, and youll save
energy, too.
Turn it all the way off:Many electronic
devices consume power even when
theyre turned off.

The Clock of the Long Now

Do you think the Long Now Clock is a good idea?
Why or Why not?
We think is a good idea. It will provide inspiration
and utility to the whole community of librarians
and archivists.
Can you think of other ways
to encourage long-term
thinking?
The past is part of long-term
thinking, studying history
can make you encourage
long-term thinking.
