Anatomy Of A Computer
v A computer is composed five components …
o Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU) -- the part that “computes”, e.g. +
o Control -- the part that follows the Fetch/Execute Cycle of
the program and tells the ALU what to compute
o Memory -- where data, programs are kept while computing
o Input -- ports to peripheral devices from which data comes
o Output -- ports to peripheral devices to which data goes
