Solve : CPU Help!!!?

1.	Solve : CPU Help!!!?
Answer» I'm tring to understand the cycle of information that the cpu use's in order to get an output. Just the real basic stuff such as Input -> Control unit/Manipulator ALU Unit (E.g. Ans=5+3) Registers/Understands/Decodes instructions Shifter Stores Results ->Random Access memory Output -> Additional Storage my graph isnt the greatest but am I missing anything? Also, is the shifter a seperate operation or is that part of storeing it. I cant find anything that helps explain it.Is anyone having problems understand this or something?....Patience is a Virtue..................... yes for it TAKES two hours for the cpu to complete one cycle. You inspired me to do some searching of my own and I found this: Quote A CPU Cycle refers to a single pulse of the computer clock. For example, a 4 Mhz CPU will have 4 million CPU cycles per second. I thought the numbers were....smaller.... That MEANS my CPU will have 1.7 Billion cycles per second.... It does but I'm joking, it compeltes ALU stuff so fast it seems like long mathmatical problems are easier then it looks.Your model is probably not too far off - in basic terms I'd think. Only thing missing there is cache usage .... Periodic shunting of data to cache to have it 'held' briefly while other processes completed, then recovering that to integrate with other data for a result. I think ALU is ACTUALLY usually playing a greater part than we might suspect - not just math per se. STACKS and registers will be a part of the whole as with the earliest processors ..... in the old terminology - 'peek' and 'poke' is alive and well! I haven't dug DEEP on the web but feel sure there is info out there to detail this quite fully.

I'm tring to understand the cycle of information that the cpu use's in order to get an output. Just the real basic stuff such as

Input -> Control unit/Manipulator
ALU Unit (E.g. Ans=5+3)
Registers/Understands/Decodes instructions
Shifter
Stores Results ->Random Access memory Output ->
Additional Storage

my graph isnt the greatest but am I missing anything? Also, is the shifter a seperate operation or is that part of storeing it. I cant find anything that helps explain it.Is anyone having problems understand this or something?....Patience is a Virtue..................... yes for it TAKES two hours for the cpu to complete one cycle.
