Input Technology
• A digital camera
captures images by
converting them from
analog to digital
format and storing
them on a storage
medium.

be printed or inserted
into a document.

Data Processing by Computers
What is a program?
– A program is a series of instructions that use a
binary system to switch registers on and off.
– A program tells a computer how to perform
tasks, including
• How to process data
• How to deliver desired information
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-15
Data Processing by Computers
• The binary number
system uses a condition
similar to what
happens when an
electrical switch is
turned on, causing
current to flow.
• In the binary system, a
1 represents “on” and
a 0 represents “off.”

2-16
Data Processing by Computers
• ASCII is a coding
scheme many
computers, including
personal computers,
use.
• The EBCDIC coding
scheme is used mainly
on IBM servers and
mainframe computers.

2-17
Data Processing by Computers
• Pressing a key
generates an electronic
signal that is converted
into binary form (a
byte) and stored in
memory.
• The computer
processes the digital
signal and displays the
character on the
screen.

2-18
The System Unit
• The system unit is the main part of a desktop
computer system.
• It contains the components necessary for
processing information.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-19
Power Supply
Like other electronic devices, a computer
requires a power supply to supply energy to
the computer.
– Many personal computers use a power cord that
connects the computer to AC current.
– The power supply unit in the system must then
convert the current from AC to DC.

Storage Bays
• A storage bay is a site
where a storage device
is installed.
• The desktop computer
shown contains a
CD/DVD drive bay
and a hard drive bay.

The Motherboard
• A motherboard is a thin sheet of fiberglass
or other material with electrical pathways.
• It holds the major processing and memory
components, including
– The central processing unit, to manipulate
data
– The system clock, to synchronize activities
– Slots for RAM chips to contain temporary
memory

2-23
The Motherboard
The motherboard holds the major processing and
memory components, including the CPU, RAM, and
ROM chips.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-24
The Motherboard
The motherboard contains the central
processing unit (CPU).
– The CPU interprets and executes the
instructions for most computer operations.
– In a personal computer, the CPU is a single
chip called a microprocessor, and all
processing functions are contained on it.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-25
The Motherboard
The central processing unit performs a
machine cycle, which
–
–
–
–
Fetches an instruction
Decodes the instruction
Executes the instruction
Stores the result
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-26
The Motherboard
The machine cycle
includes the four steps
for reading and carrying
out an instruction.

2-27
The Motherboard
The CPU contains a control unit, an arithmetic/logic
unit (ALU), and registers.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-28
The Motherboard
The control unit on the CPU
– Directs and coordinates the overall operation of
the computer
– Performs the first two machine cycle functions
• Fetching an instruction
• Decoding an instruction
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-29
The Motherboard
• The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) on the CPU
– Performs the executing step of the machine
cycle
• The ALU can
– Add/subtract
– Multiply/divide
– Perform logical operations, such as comparing
data items

2-30
The Motherboard
• The registers on the CPU
– Are a temporary storage location (the storing
step of the machine cycle)
– Record results to memory
• Types of registers include
– Instruction registers
– Data registers
– Storage registers

2-31
The Motherboard
The power and speed of microprocessor
(CPU) chips are determined primarily by
– The number of transistors
– The clock speed
– The number of bits that can be handled as a
single unit

The Motherboard
Processing speed is improved with pipelining.
– With pipelining, the computer begins executing a new
instruction as soon as the previous instruction reaches
the next phase of the machine cycle.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-35
The Motherboard
Without pipelining, the computer executes an
instruction after the previous instruction completes
the machine cycle. This is less efficient.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-36
The Motherboard
• A dual-core processor
is a CPU that includes
two complete cores per
physical processor.
• This means that a
single integrated
circuit (silicon chip)
contains two
processors and their
cache memories.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-37
The Motherboard
The system clock controls timing of all
computer operations.
– Its speed is measured by number of clock
pulses per second, or hertz.
– One clock cycle is equal to two ticks of the clock.
– A CPU uses a fixed number of clock cycles to
execute each instruction.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-38
The Motherboard
Random access memory (RAM) is temporary
memory in which programs and data are
stored.
– RAM performs three functions:
• It accepts and holds program instructions and data.
• It acts as the CPU’s source for data and instructions
and as a destination for operation results.
• It holds the final processed information until it can
be sent to the desired output or storage devices.
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc.
2-39
The Motherboard
• RAM chips temporarily store programs and data
during the processing stage.
• On some computers, ROM chips contain
permanent storage of the operating system and
instructions for managing peripheral devices.
