What are the two important components of CPU that help in processing the input into output quizlet?

The hard disk drive on Joyce's laptop can store up to 500 GB of data. She usually only saves official documents and a few songs that she listens to while she works. However, when she uses more than three applications at the same time, her laptop responds more slowly. What should she do to optimize her storage?

A. Use an external hard disk drive to store data so that there is more free memory on her laptop's hard disk drive

B. Save all her data on a DVD so that the space on her hard disk drive is completely available to run her applications smoothly

C. Increase the RAM on her laptop so that more space for temporary storage of data is available, hence, increasing the performance

D. Replace her hard disk drive with one that provides lesser storage capacity so that the amount of memory available is optimal and performance is increased

Control Unit, Arithmetic Logic Unit, Registers

Terms in this set [3]

Control Unit

The control unit is a component of a computer's central processing unit [CPU] that directs operation of the processor. It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic/logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to a program's instructions.

Arithmetic Logic Unit

a unit in a computer which carries out arithmetic and logical operations.

Registers

In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of storage available as part of a digital processor, such as a CPU. Such registers are [typically] addressed by mechanisms other than main memory and can be accessed faster.
