We will spend most of class carefully reviewing your tests, pointing out mistakes and suggestions for improvement.
We will then take a look at whats next. The link to our next is here: https://faq.computersciencewiki.org/index.php/home/c/computer-fundamentals
We will learn:
A1.1.1 Describe the functions and interactions of the main CPU components.
• Units: arithmetic logic unit (ALU), control unit (CU)
• Registers: instruction register (IR), program counter (PC), memory address register (MAR), memory data
register (MDR), accumulator (AC)
• Buses: address, data, control
• Processors: single core processor, multi-core processor, co-processors
• A diagrammatic representation of the relationship between the specified CPU components
A1.1.2 Describe the role of a GPU.
• The architecture that allows graphics processing units (GPUs) to handle specific tasks and makes them
suitable for complex computations
• Real-world scenarios may include video games, artificial intelligence (AI), large simulations and other
applications that require graphics rendering and machine learning.
