Welcome to our first lesson in Computer Science! In this course, we'll be covering a range of topics that are vital to understanding the world of computing. Today, we'll dive into the first component of any computer system - the CPU.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the brain of a computer. It is responsible for executing instructions that make the rest of the computer system work. Just as the human brain coordinates all the functions of our body, the CPU coordinates the activity of all the other computer components.
The CPU, as we know it today, has a fascinating history that stretches back over half a century. From its early beginnings as a simple processing unit to the advanced, powerful units we have today, CPUs have come a long way.
To understand exactly how a CPU works, we'll go deep into the technical details of its architecture. We'll cover everything from its instruction set to its logic gates and signal timing. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a solid grasp of how the CPU processes instructions and makes decisions.
Although the CPU is an incredibly powerful component within a computer system, it does have its limitations. As we dig deeper into CPUs, we'll also explore their limitations and how they can impact system performance.
