What is a Computer Processor?

Microprocessor, processor, and central processing unit are all words that are used interchangeably. A processor, also referred to as a “microprocessor,” is a small chip used in computers and other electronic devices. 

A processor is a type of integrated electronic circuit that performs the calculations that allow a computer to function. An operating system sends arithmetic, logical, input/output, and other simple instructions to a processor, which it executes. The operations of a processor are needed for the majority of other processes.

Stages:

Fetch, decode, and execute are the three key stages in the instruction loop that the CPU uses to carry out its tasks.

Fetch : The fetch-execute loop begins with fetching. Instructions are retrieved by the CPU, which is normally from RAM.

Decode : A decoder transforms the instruction into signals that are sent to the other device components.

Execute : The decoded instructions are sent to each component, allowing the desired operation to be carried out.

Parts of Computer Processor

A computer processor is made up of four parts: the ALU, FPU, registers, and cache memory.

ALU : Both arithmetic and logic operations are performed by the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). It only works for whole numbers, which are integers.

FPU : The Floating Point Unit (FPU) is a program that manipulates floating-point numbers, or numbers with a decimal.

Registers : After that, there’s the cash register. The registry is where instructions from other parts of the machine are stored. It instructs the ALU on which processes to run and where to save the results of those operations.

Cache Memory : L1 and L2 memory are used for processors. This cache memory enables the processor to store data locally rather than needing to access it from the RAM.
