[Process Device] Hardware Processing On Computers (Understanding, Kinds Kind and Function)
x

Process devices are hardware (hardware) on the computer that serves as a processor and data processing entered through the input device and then output through the output device in the form of information so that will be accepted by the brainware.

Computer hardware that holds the task as a process tool is called by the name of Central Processing Unit (CPU). Any incoming data from input devices (input units) as well as data stored in storage media, all processed by the CPU. The whole process such as calculation, data processing, image processing, even sound processing is handled by this one computer hardware.

It is this hardware that also manages the work of hardware-other hardware such as printers, mice, speakers, monitors, keyboards, and so on. In microcomputers, this processing unit is called a micro-processor (processor micro) or processor chip-shaped consisting of thousands to millions of ICs. In essence, the CPU is the brain or regulator of a system that process to produce information.

On the CPU, there are 4 main components that work together so that it can form a processing and processing init, which is as follows:

1. Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)

Arithmetic and Logic Unit or often abbreviated as ALU only in Indonesian means Arithmetic and Logic Unit. ALU has the main task to form various functions of computer data processing. Often also referred to as machine language, because it consists of various instructions that use machine language.

ALU itself is also still divided into two main components, namely

arithmetic unit (arithmetic unit), tasked to handle data processing related to the calculation, and

boolean logic unit (boolean logic unit), is responsible for handling various logical operations.

2. Control Unit

Control Unit or Control Unit, has the main task to control the operation in the CPU and also control the computer as a whole to create a working synchronization between components in performing their respective functions. In addition, the control unit is also tasked with retrieving instructions from the main memory and determining the type of instruction.

3. Registers

Registers (plural, in Indonesian into registers or many registers) are internal CPU storage media used during data processing. Registers are temporary storage media, meaning that the data will only be in the registers when the data is needed as long as the computer is alive, when a data is not needed anymore then it has no right to be in the registers, and when the computer is turned off all data it will disappear.

4. CPU Interconections

CPU Interconnections is a system of connections and buses that connect the internal components of the CPU with external buses CPU.

a. Internal CPU components include:

      Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU),

      Control Unit,

      Registers, and

      CPU Interconnection.

b. external components of CPU include:

      main memory system,

      input / output system

      (input / output),

      and other systems.
