Computer
A computer is a programmable, multiuse machine that accepts data, ( raw facts and figures ) and process ,or manipulates, it into information.
“processed data on a computer is called information”
Information:

12
Parts of the Computer System
• Building Blocks of computer system– Data (information)– User– Hardware– Software
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
13
Parts of the Computer System
• Data – Pieces of facts– Computer organize and present information
• Users– People operating the computer– Computer working for the people– Users are most important part of the
computers– Tell the computer what to do
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
14
HARDWARE• Physical Components of the Computer.• TANGIBLE (can be touched)
SOFTWARE• Step-by-step instructions to perform the task.• Also called a program• INTANGIBLE (cannot be touched)• Programs and software interchangeable
terms
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
15
HARDWARE :
• INPUT DEVICES• OUTPUT DEVICES• CPU• MEMORY• STORAGE DEVICES
Major components of a Computer
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
16
HARDWARE: INPUT DEVICES
These devices allow the user to enter the data into the computer. These devices are;• Keyboard• Mouse• Scanner• Pointer
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
17
HARDWARE: OUTPUT DEVICES
Consist of devices that translate information processed by the computer into human understandable format. These devices are:• Printer• Monitor• Speaker
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
18
HARDWARE: I/O DEVICES
Some devices are both input as well as output devices. Can perform I/O simultaneously.• Touchpad Screens
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
19
HARDWARE :CPU; Central Processing Unit
• Brain of the computer.
• Two parts are:– ALU– CU
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
20
HARDWARE :CPU; CONTROL UNIT
• Directs and coordinates flow of data through the CPU and to and from other devices
• Traffic cop• CPU’s Instruction set is built into
the Control unit called Commands that a CPU can execute
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
21
HARDWARE :CPU; ALUArithmetic Logic Unit
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
22
HARDWARE: MEMORY
Two categories of Memory• Volatile Memory
Loses its contents when the computer's power is turned off
• Non-volatile MemoryDoes not lose its contents when the computer’s power is turned off
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
23
HARDWARE: MEMORYStores Data or programs(workspace or archiving/storage space)
RAM: Random Access Memory (Volatile)• Stores current Data and programs• More RAM results in a faster system
ROM: Read Only Memory (non-volatile)• Permanent storage of programs/instructions• Holds the computer boot directions
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
24
HARDWARE:Memory; CPU Registers (Part of ALU)
• High speed memory locations built directly into the CPU
• Temporary storage location used by the CPU (Scratchpad)
• Used to hold data currently being processed
• Results of the calculations• Very expensive that’s why very limited.
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
25
HARDWARE:STORAGE DEVICES• Hold data and programs permanently• Different from RAM• Magnetic storage; Uses a magnet to access data
(Floppy and hard drive, USB drives)• Optical storage; Uses a laser to access data
(CD and DVD drives )
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
26
TYPES OF SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOFTWARE Enables the application to interact with the computer
and manages the computer internal resources.Examples:
– Operating System– Device Drivers
APPLICATION SOFTWAREIt performs useful work on General-purpose task. Examples:
– MS-Word – PowerPoint – Google (search engine)
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
27
Utility Programs• Utility Programs provide services not provided
by the system software. • Usually used to recover the system, data or
resources.• Examples:
– Screen savers– Data recovery – Backup– Virus protection– Norton utilities

How CPU works?
Four basic operations:1. Fetch: obtain a program instruction or data
item from memory.
2. Decode: translate the instruction into commands.
3. Execute: carry out the command.
4. Store: write the result into the memory
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
29
Machine Cycle
A Machine Cycle comprises i-time and e-time:
• Instruction time or i–time to fetch and decode
• Execution time or e–time to execute and store theresult
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
30
How CPU Synchronizes?Through System Clock
System Clock Synchronizes all computer operations• Train of binary pulses• Faster clock speed means the CPU can execute more instructions each second• Units: MHz and GHz Hz = cycles per second
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
31
Types of Computers
1. Supercomputers2. Mainframes3. Minicomputers4. Microcontrollers
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
32
Supercomputer• Most powerful computers• Physically largest in size• Hundreds of thousands of processors that can process
huge amounts of data• Perform over 1 quadrillion calculations per second. e.g.
IBM ASCI White, Cray• Ideal for handling large and highly complex problems that
require extreme calculating power
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
33
Mainframe• Mainly used by large organizations for critical
applications, typically bulk data processing– Banks, Airlines, Insurance
Companies• Measured in millions of integer operations per
second (MIPS)• Vary in size from small, to medium, to large,
depending on their use.• Normally Dumb Terminals are connected to
these main frames. Processing is done by Main Frames.
• Dumb terminals only have keyboard, monitors.
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
34
Minicomputers• Class of multi-user computers that lies in between
mainframe computers (multi user) and microcomputers or personal computers (single user)
• Midrange computer, such as the higher-end SPARC, POWER and Itanium-based systems from Sun Microsystems, IBM and Hewlett-Packard.

35
Computers for individuals -PCsMicrocomputers
– Workstation– Desktop computers– Notebook computers– Tablet computers– Handheld computers– Smart phones
CSC141 Introduction to Computer Programming
36
Microcontroller
• Embedded computers are small in size, specialized microprocessors
• Designed for small or dedicated applications• Installed in "smart" appliances from automobiles
to washing machines

What is IT?Base of the Computer was/is: digital signal;
Base of Communication devices was analog signal transferred to digital signalThe day Communication changed its base from analog to digital; There was natural merger of the two technologies Computer and CommunicationThe following industries also joined : Mass storage, Consumer Electronics, Entertainment, MultimediaThe Name given to the family
Information Technology : IT
