ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Describe the central processing unit including its role Describe internal memory, i.e. ROM and RAM and the differences between them Define input and output devices and describe the difference between them Define secondary/backing storage

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Describe the central processing unit including its role The CPU is the 'brain' of the computer. It is where all the searching, sorting, calculating and decision making takes place. The speed of the CPU is measured in Gigahertz (GHz). A 1 GHz CPU can carry out 1 billion instructions per second! Intel and AMD are the most popular CPU brands.

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Main Memory The CPU will again check the Cache for the next piece of data. This time the CPU will be able to get the data from the Cache Memory. Temporary data from Applications in use are held in the Main Memory. Applications are installed in the Secondary Storage (Hard drive). The CPU will first check the Cache for the required piece of the data so that it can be processed. If the data is not in the cache then the CPU will check the RAM and transfer data to the CPU. The Cache will then transfer the next piece of data from the RAM into Cache.

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Cache Cache is the fastest type of Memory. It is located between the processor and the RAM. Cache collects data from the RAM. Holds onto commonly used data. The Cache will automatically transfer the next set of data from the RAM in to the Cache so that it can be processed by the CPU.

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems RAM (Random Access Memory) RAM stands for Random Access Memory RAM is the part of the computer that temporarily stores the instructions that the computer is running whilst the data is being processed by the CPU. RAM is volatile which means that when the computer is turned off all data is lost

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems ROM (Read Only Memory) ROM stands for Read Only Memory ROM is a built in memory that can not be changed (Read Only). ROM normally holds the ‘boot up’ instructions to start the computer – without it the computer wouldn’t know what to do when on button is switched on (e.g. the operating system will not start). ROM is non-volatile memory which means that memory is not lost when computer is turned off.

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Input and Output devices Devices need to be connected to a computer to allow data to be inputted and outputted. The general name for these extra devices is ‘peripheral devices’. They are usually categorised into input devices, output devices and storage devices. InputOutputStorage An input device is a device that can pass date into the computer Devices that take data from the computer are known as output devices.

ICT IGCSE Theory – Revision Presentation 1.2 The Main Components of Computer Systems Chapter 1: Types and components of computer systems Define secondary/backing storage Backing storage is also known as secondary storage Backing storage is non-volatile which means that data is not lost when computer is turned off. Backing storage is used to store data for a long time (data can be read from and written to) Users tend to make copies of original files on backing storage.
