CPU: Central Processing Unit

CPU: Central Processing Unit

CPU is the central processing unit which is responsible for carrying out all the activities within the internal structure of the computer. The system works as a program which at times needs up gradation to increase its efficiency and effectiveness so that people can easily work on it. Moreover the RAM and ROM can also be found on the computer.

CPU is one of the most important elements of the computer as each and everything needs to be carried out through it. All the information is to be stored in the CPU and at time the information can be easily accessed but at time it becomes quite hard for the person to get to the exactly saved information. Apart from this CPU is also responsible for performing some other functions which are concerned with the mathematical and operational ability of the computer. Moreover the computer CPU acts as a storage device where much of the information can be easily saved and hence the stored information is found to be quite helpful for many people as it can be retrieved by the person at the time of need. The arithmetical ability if also carried out by the CPU as it does not have any capacity of committing any error at all so all the functions can be performed. The CPU acts according to the instructions of the user.

On the other hand, at times CPU also gathers some of the hidden information from its memory so the process of gathering and extracting that information is known as the logical unit which is another important function of CPU. The operational activities within the CPU are carried out through different steps, where at first the information needs to be found out, then it needs to be decoded and executed and finally the results are to be gathered at the end.
