A computer is, at its core, just a bunch of transistors wired together. Once you have enough transistors on a board, though, one of the first layers of abstraction that arises is the Arithmetic Logic ...

Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the heart and brain of every computer. Every single operation that you do with your computer is processed in CPU. The performance of your computer is based on its ...

The developing team at Arith-Matic a British computational hardware project and micro startup, have created a new 4-bit arithmetic unit, designed to be provided in kit form and “beautifully dissects ...

Arithmetic Logic Units are combinations of digital logic gates that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers. For this project, an 8-bit ALU was made entirely of NAND gates only. A ...

Every computing device from simple toys to large business systems have an essential component called the central processing unit. The CPU performs calculations, makes logical comparisons and moves ...

The CPU and memory work together to process instructions and run programs. There are different types of memory – volatile and non-volatile. The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is where the CPU ...

When we are introduced to the internals of a microprocessor, it is most likely that we will be shown something like one of the first generation of 8-bit CPUs from the 1970s. There will be the familiar ...

The central processing unit (CPU) is either a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) or intellectual property (IP) core on an IC that processes logic and math. A CPU can handle high-level provisioning of ...
