Introduction on CPU
PowerPoint Presentation Introduction on CPU Central Processing UNIT (CPU) or Processor CPU is the ‘heart’ of the digital computer, its is responsible for reading a program’s instruction from memory and executing it, and then control input’s and output’s within the machine. To start with a program in (PC) this points to the next instruction and executed. Therefore, if the contents of Computer are five, the next instruction to be executed is stored in memory location 5. The program is called as a pointer. The contents of the program are always copied to the memory address register (MAR). The program contents are then incremented with the next instruction. The MAR holds the address of the memory location and in the memory data gets located. The contents of MAR : MAR contents during this part of the cycle contains address of the instruction and executed, the contents of this memory are always placed in the memory data register (MDR). • During the cycle the data which is passed from memory is called instruction. • The instruction gets moved MDR to the instruction register (IR) and further its divided into two fields. • The first field in the operation code is often shortened to opcode, which tells the CPU which instruction to carry out. • Further second field in the operand field contains the address/data (or all the addresses) of data used by the instruction. Sometimes the operand field may not get used. THANKS
