Main Memory
Random Access Memory Where programs are stored
temporarily while the computer is on
Volatile Memory = The contents of RAM is lost when the computer is switched off
Read Only Memory The contents of ROM are
stored permanently and cannot be edited
Programs are written to ROM during manufacture
Bootstrap Loader is stored in ROM and loads up the remainder of the OS
The Main Memory is required to store parts of programs whilst in use by the processor

Backing Storage
A Backing Storage device is a piece of hardware that is used to store data permanently when the computer is switched off
Magnetic Hard Disk Magnetic Tape USB Memory Stick
Optical CDROM/R/RW DVDROM/R/RW
Sequential Access = This is Backing Storage where you access data in a particular order
Direct Access = This Backing Storage allows you to access data in any order

The Processor
The processor or Central Processing Unit is the brain of the computer where all the decision making, calculations etc are carried out
We send instructions (programs) to the processor to get the computer to do something
Processor speed (clock speed) is measure in how many millions of instructions the processor can process per second (typically 3-4Ghz)
Clock speed is one of the main measures of computer performance

Parts of the Processor Control Unit
Manages the fetching and executing of programs held in RAM
Makes sure programs are processed in the correct order
Arithmetic Logic Unit Performs + - X / calculations Makes AND, OR, NOT and IF decisions Handles FOR, loop untils
Registers Storage locations on the processor chip to
temporarily store instructions

Lesson Starter
1. List the 3 parts of the processor
2. Which part of the processor makes sure programs are processed in the correct order and manages the timing of processing?
