                     -General Construction-

The most popular and the most important part of a computer processor. In short, the CPU (Central Processing Unit / Central Processing Unit) processors, known as the name suggests, are carried out and the results of operations on a computer where they are needed the sender element.

Intel's first time in 1971, thousands of transistors on a silicon chip revolution birleştirmesinle had been held in the computer age. In this way, previously only available to large corporations and universities began to break into computers and meal thoroughly shrunk.

Microprocessors, transistors consist of millions of employees, such as on-off switch. These keys are programmed according to the flow of electrical signals through them. This signals that the computer does all the work, subtraction, multiplication and division basic mathematical operations such as downloads. The processor is a binary counting system that is the simplest of these operations only makes using the numbers 0 and 1.


Microprocessors shed any type of binary counting system. For example, the letter Y can be expressed in binary 1011001 in a color such as red as it is expressed in binary three different set of numbers. In the same way that an audio or video recording or still are represented by groups of similar binary number.

This number is a number in the processor to perform operations on groups of a program that consists of a list of available commands. These commands remove the processor of two numbers, can give orders to collect a set according to your preferences, such as the command line entered from the keyboard to jump (conditional branching - conditional branch) can continue to perform other command lines. So we get into the E on the keyboard in front of a question (yes) or N (no) do not conduct or statements of the program according to the specific command lines. Basically, the microprocessor his job is to run the commands to operate on bits.

                                  -Units-

Ability to execute commands on the job application processor unit (execution unit) unit or function (function unit) performs called units. Modern processors are different types of commands in order to operate more than one functional unit. Mostly arithmetic / logic unit (arithmetic / logic unit) is also known as an integer (integer) units performs operations on whole numbers. Floating-point unit (FPU-Floating Point Unit) performs operations on the numbers, decimals, such as 5.21. If you have a microprocessor function unit at the same time how much it increases the number of the command to work.
