The arithmetic logic unit(ALU) performs Arithmetic Operation; Logic Operation. Registers are fast stand-alone storage locations that hold data temporarily. Controlling is achieved through wires that can be on or off. Two types of memory : RAM and ROM. RAM(random access memory): (1)RAM can be read from and written to by the user. (2)RAM is volatile. SRAM(static RAM):flip-flop gates, no need for refreshing. DRAM(dynamic RAM):capacitor.need to be refreshed periodically. ROM:(Read-only memory) (1)The user is allowed to read but not write to ROM. (2)ROM is nonvolatile. PROM: EPROM: EEPROM: Input/Output devices can be divided into two broad categories:nonstorage and storage devices. Nonstorage devices allow the CPU/memory to communicate with the outside world but they can not store information. Storage devices, although classified as I/O devices, can store large amounts of information to be retrieved at a later time. We categorize them as either magnetic or optical. Magnetic Storage Devices CD-ROM CD-R CD-RW DVD Controllers or interface:can be a serial or parallel device. A serial controller has only one wire connection to the device. A parallel controller has several connections to the device so that several bits can be transferred at a time. The strategy behind CISC (complex instruction set computer) architecture is to have a large set of instructions, including the complex ones. The strategy behind RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture is to have a small set of instructions that do minimum number of simple operations. 指令(instruction) 控制计算机执行特定的算术、逻辑或控制运算的命令。 一条指令可以分两部分：操作码(op code) 和地址码(operands). 0110 000010 000001 ADD REG2 REG1 CPU可以执行的全部指令称为Instruction set(指令集).
