INFORMATION ABOUT CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
What is CPU? CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a very large-scale integrated circuit, usually called the brain of a computer. It is the computing core(Core) and controls unit of a computer. It is also the most important component of the entire computer system. The central processing unit mainly includes an arithmetic unit(ALU, Arithmetic Logic Unit), a Cache, and a Bus for transmitting data, control, and status signals. CPU, Memory, and I/O devices are called the three core components of an electronic computer.

The early CPUs were all CISC architecture and were designed to perform the required computational tasks with minimal machine language instructions. This architecture increases the complexity of the CPU structure and the CPU process requirements, but is very beneficial for compiler development. RISC (Redu...
