ACTIVITY:
Do I still remember the
basic computer
operations?
They can do millions of math
operations in one second. They
're also called the "math
crunchers". Supercomputer has
thousands of processors,
hundreds of gigabytes of RAM,
and hard drives that allow
hundreds of gigabytes of storage
space, and sometimes thousands.
Where it is being used?
For Research
For Space Exploration
For Earthquake Studies
For Weather Forecasting
For Nuclear Power Testing
For Government Systems
Mainframes are not as powerful as
supercomputers, they are certainly very
expensive nevertheless, and many large
companies and governmental organizations
are using mainframes to operate their
company.
Because of its scale, the Mainframe
computers can be lodged in large, air-
conditioned spaces. Nowadays a Mainframe
is a very large and expensive computer
capable of supporting hundreds, or even
thousands, of users simultaneously.
Where it is being used?
For Telephone Companies for connecting telephone
calls
For TV Network to send shows to million of homes
For Transportation Department used for traffic
signals, railroad and subway
For Bank that keeps track of money flow on
computer
For Supermarkets to keep track of their products
and prices
For huge companies or employers that organize
their worker’s record
For Electric company that keep track on their
customers electric consumption, bills and payment.
A control unit, or CU, is circuitry within a computer's
processor that directs operations. It instructs the
memory, logic unit, and both output and input devices
of the computer on how to respond to the program's
instructions. CPUs and GPUs are examples of devices
that use control units.
An arithmetic-logic unit is the part of a central
processing unit that carries out arithmetic and
logic operations on the operands in computer
instruction words. In some processors, the ALU is
divided into two units: an arithmetic unit (AU)
and a logic unit (LU).
