    Memory Or Storage Unit:
    Computer Glossary
    This unit can store instructions, data and intermediate results. This unit supplies informatio
    Who is Who
    other units of the computer when needed. It is also known as internal storage unit or main m
    primary storage or Random access memory(RAM).

    Its size affects speed, power and capability. There are primary memory and secondary mem
    types of memories in the computer. Functions of Memory Unit are:

    It stores all the data to be processed and the instructions required for processing.

    It stores intermediate results of processing.

    It stores final results of processing before these results are released to an output device

    All inputs and outputs are transmitted through main memory.

    Control Unit
    This unit controls the operations of all parts of computer. It does not carry out any act
    processing operations.

    Functions of this unit are:

    It is responsible for controlling the transfer of data and instructions among other u
    computer.

    It manages and coordinates all the units of the computer.

    It obtains the instructions from the memory, interprets them and directs the operatio
    computer.

    It communicates with Input/Output devices for transfer of data or results from storage.

    It does not process or store data.

    ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)


    This unit consists of two subsections namely:
