Difference between Human and Computer
• Computer ▪ Computers perform complex computation, process a
large amount of data, control devices and communicate instantly with high precision
• Human
▪ Humans are capable of performing computation without any instruction, and act according to circumstances
▪ From the experience on solving various problems, humans are able to come up with better methods
▪ Humans can process non-numeric data

Computer’s components
• Components ▪ Hardware
• Physical parts that contain electrical circuits
▪ Software (Program) • A written program for hardware
• Hardware alone does not work but together with software, they can be used for various purposes

Function and Structure of Hardware
• 5 major functions of computers: Store, Calculate, Control, Input, Output
Central processing Unit(CPU)
Input device Processing unit
Control unit
Ouput device
Main memory External memory
Control data

General view and function of Hardware CPU 1
• Central Processing Unit ▪ Control Unit: Manages the instructions and operation of devices in
the computer ▪ Arithmetic Logic Unit:Executes operations accordingly
1. Data is transferred into CPU from memory
2. Calculation is carried out on the data inside the CPU
3. Data is transferred back to memory from the CPU

General view and function of Hardware CPU 2
• Clock ▪ A signal generated at a fixed interval to synchronize the
operation timing of every part in CPU
▪ A shorter clock interval means faster CPU
• Clock frequency(Hz) ▪ The rate of cycles per second of clock signal (How
many times clock signal is generated in one second) ▪ Generally, the higher the frequency, the faster the CPU

General view and function of Hardware Storage devices
• 2 main types of Storage device
• Primary storage (main memory) ▪ Read and write speed is fast ▪ Data stored in primary memory will be lost when
the power is turned off • Secondary storage (external memory)
▪ Read and write speed is slow ▪ Data being stored here will NOT be lost when
the power is turned off

General view and function of Hardware Main memory
• Data will be stored by trapping a charge inside the semiconductor
• Data being stored here will be lost when the power is turned off

General view and function of Hardware Secondary storage 1
• Hard disk ▪ Stores data using the alignment of magnet field of particles on the
platter’s surface
▪ Data is stored on tracks, which is the circular path on the disk surface ▪ The head (the silver triangle) is used to read and write from a specific
track

General view and function of Hardware Performance of Storage Device
• Capacity ▪ How many bytes of data can be stored?
• Access Speed ▪ How many bits of data can be read/written in 1
second? ▪ The access speed to main memory is usually
several hundreds of thousands times faster than accessing secondary storages.

【Exercise】 Check your PC specification
• Check the specification of your PC and fill out the form ▪ Manufacturer, Model name ▪ HDD or SSD(capacity),CPU(type, frequency),
memory(capacity),OS ▪ Weight,display(size, resolution),External
drive(type, format),battery lifetime ▪ Dimension (width x height x depth)
• Compare with others’

Software (Program)
• Hardware can not operate themselves (computer is just a box if there is no software installed)
• A sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute is called program
• Different programs can process different data with different methods

What is the different between a computer and a calculator?
• Calculator ▪ Procedures and data are in user’s mind ▪ Users input data accordingly ▪ Input speed is slow
• Computer (= calculator + memory) ▪ Program and data are stored inside (aka Neumann architecture) ▪ CPU executes the calculation according to the program ▪ High speed computation
