Arithmetic Logic Unit: performs arithmetic and logic operations on data.
Buses
Address Bus: carries address of the location of the memory. Unidirectional.
Data Bus: carries data between CPU and memory. Bidirectional.
Control Bus: carries command signals from control unit to other components. Bidirectional.
Registers
Provide fast, temporary storage for instructions and data.
Clock
Sends electronic signals at intervals to components to synchronise all actions.
Fetch-decode-execute cycle
Embedded systems
Storage
Software
Programming languages
Translators
Compiler
All code translated prior to being executed
Interpreter
Each line of code translated one at a time
Because the source code is translated line by line while execution is underway, so the program runs more slowly
