Interrupts in Computer
What are Interrupts in Computer? Interrupts in the computer are the signals generated either by hardware or by software and are sent to the processor, informing it that an event needs its instant attention. It causes the processor to stop whatever it is doing and service the interrupt. We know that a processor can serve […]
Functional Units of Computer
Every functional system incorporates some functional parts that constitute a consumable product. Similarly, there are some functional units of the computer that constitute in producing logical outputs. The five basic functional units of a computer are: Input unit, Aprocessing unit (Arithmetic and logic) Amemory to store final or intermediate results A controlling unit that coordinates […]
