Computer Hardware Flashcards
It consists of computer paraphernalia used to make input, processing, and output activities on a computer system.
Hardware
It consists of the computer programs that manipulates the operation of the computer.
Software
The collection of raw facts and information which consist of two or more connected data files in the computer.
Database
It is the automated broadcast of signals for communications which allows governments to hold out their processes and tasks through actual number of computer server and networks.
Telecommunications
Computers that are linked in an establishment or around the world to enable electronic communications
share resource.
Networks
Also known as the world’s superhighway where anyone can get any information around the world
through interconnected networks.
Internet
The part of the computer that consists of three associated
elements: the arithmetic/logic unit, the control unit, and the
register parts.
Central Processing Unit
The part of the CPU that performs mathematical
calculations and makes logical evaluations.
Arithmetic/Logic Unit
The central processing unit that
accesses algorithm instructions and
process
• It coordinates the movement of
information in and out of the ALU,
registers and primary storage.
• The secondary storage and various
output devices.
Control Unit
A high-speed storage area in the CPU used to temporarily hold small units of computer-generated instructions and data immediately before, during, and after execution by the CPU.
Register
The part of the computer that process program
instructions and data.
Primary Storage
The time it takes to perform the make-instruction
and decode instruction steps of the instruction phase.
Instruction Time
The period it processes to run an instruction or
data and store the results in the memory.
Execution Time
The process stage followed by the execution phase.
Machine Cycle
It is the form of central processing unit operation in
which huge number of processing phases are done and
generated in a single machine cycle of the computer.
