  • If performs
    Fetch decode and execute cycle
  • Clock speed
    Is the rate at which intructions are carried out each second
  • ALU
    arithemetic logic unit
    Arithemetic operations such as AND OR and NOT
  • What does the CPU do
    Fetches decodes and exucute
  • How does the CPU and RAM work together
    CPU fetches the innstructions from RAM
    CPU decodes the instruction and execute it
  • Clock speed
    Measured in hertz the higher the clock the more FDE per second
  • Cores
    Works independently
  • Cashe
    Hold the frequently used instructions
    Located near the CPU
  • What is a embedded system
    A system that is built into a larger machine
    These are built for one purpose
  • Example for the embedded system
    Washing machine
    Microwave
    Toaster
  • Three main parts of the CPU
    Control unit
    Arithmetic logic unit
    Cache
  • The control unit
    Manages the fetching ,decode and execution of program
    Control the flow of data
  • Arithmetic logic unit
    Does the calculations
    Pefotms the logic operation such as AND ,OR and NOT
  • Cache
    Store the frequently uses instruction
