2 Fundamentals of Information Systems, Sixth Edition Chapter 2 Hardware and Software
3 Why Learn About Hardware and Software? Organizations invest in computer hardware to: Improve worker productivity Increase revenue, reduce costs Provide better customer service Managers: Are expected to know enough about their business needs to be able to ask tough questions
4 Computer Systems: Integrating the Power of Technology To assemble an effective and efficient system: You should select and organize components while understanding the trade-offs between overall system performance and cost, control, and complexity Hardware objectives are: Subordinate to, but supportive of, the information system and the current and future needs of the organization
5 Hardware Components Central processing unit (CPU): Arithmetic/logic unit, the control unit, and the register areas Arithmetic/logic unit (ALU): Performs mathematical calculations and makes logical comparisons Control unit: Sequentially accesses program instructions, decodes them, and coordinates the flow of data in and out of the ALU, registers, primary storage, and even secondary storage and various output devices
6 Hardware Components (continued)
7 Processing and Memory Devices: Power, Speed, and Capacity System unit: Houses the components responsible for processing (the CPU and memory) All other computer system devices: Are linked either directly or indirectly into the system unit housing
8 Processing Characteristics and Clock speed: Functions Series of electronic pulses produced at a predetermined rate that affects machine cycle time Often measured in: Megahertz (MHz): millions of cycles per second Gigahertz (GHz): billions of cycles per second Physical characteristics of the CPU Most CPUs are collections of digital circuits imprinted on silicon wafers, or chips, each no bigger than the tip of a pencil eraser
9 Memory Characteristics and Functions Memory: Provides the CPU with a working storage area for programs and data Rapidly provides data and instructions to the CPU Storage capacity: Eight bits together form a byte (B)
10 Memory Characteristics and Functions (continued)
11 Memory Characteristics and Functions Types of memory: (continued) Random access memory (RAM): Temporary and volatile Read-only memory (ROM): Nonvolatile Provides permanent storage for data and instructions that do not change
12 Multiprocessing Multiprocessing: Simultaneous execution of two or more instructions at the same time Multicore microprocessor: Combines two or more independent processors into a single computer
