Processor
Arithmetic computations and logic operations are carried out in this part of the CPU.
What is Arithmetic Logic Unit/ALU?
When the OS runs a piece of software, all the program files loaded on this memory.
What is Random Access Memory/RAM?
This sensor is used to set alarm in a chemical factory when the level of CO2 is more than acceptable.
What is CO2 Sensor?
A programming language like Python that is designed to be easy for humans to read and write.
What is High-level Language?
The OS on most computers and smartphones provides an interface with tiles, icons and/or menus.
What is Graphical User Interface/GUI?
It carries the addresses of data (but not the data) between the processor and memory.
What is Address Bus?
Off-Line storage, an optical disc which can hold 25 GB of data.
What is Blue-Ray?
This sensor is used when parking cars to judge distance.
What is Proximity Sensor?
Translates the entire program written in a high-level language into machine code.
?What is Compiler
This manager enforces restrictions on who has access to which files by using predetermined access.
What is File Manager?
The register in the CPU that contains the current instruction during processing.
What is Current Instruction Register/CIR?
Non-Volatile secondary storage that uses multiple metal disks and data is stored as magnetic 'dots'.
What is Hard Disk Drive/HDD?
This sensor is used to trigger a beeper when the passenger has not fastened the seatbelt.
What is Pressure sensor?
A series of commands to be compiled or assembled into an executable computer program.
What is Source Code?
This manager coordinates the use of virtual memory addressing (such as paging or segmentation) in order to choose what memory each program may use at any given time.
What is Memory Manager?
This register passes the address of the instruction (binary value) onto the Memory Address Register/MAR.
What is Program Counter/PC?
Having millions of transistors wired in a series on a circuit board, give the advantage of having no mechanical moving parts and therefore immediate access to the data.
What is Solid State Disk/SSD?
The type of signal a processor can function with.
What is Digital?
A low-level programming language for a computer or other programmable device specific to a particular processor architecture, in contrast to high-level programming languages portable across multiple systems.
What is Assembly Language?
It tells the processor to stop what it's doing and wait for further instructions.
What is Interrupt?
This register stores the binary value, fetched from the memory via Data Bus.
What is Memory Data Register/MDR?
The type of memory that retains the stored information even when not powered.
What is Non-volatile Memory?
The component makes judgements, decisions or controls any output devices in a control system.
What is Microprocessor?
A set of instructions in Binary form for each family of processors for handling various operations such as getting input from a keyboard, displaying information on a screen and performing various other jobs.
What is Machine Code/Language?
It's a scheduler in the process manager that handles jobs as they enter the system. Each job is broken down to processes.
What is Process Scheduler?
