Q

Control unit (CU)

A

It doesn’t perform the actual data processing, it supervises the data processing operations. The CU performs the following:

 - Retrieving: obtains instructions from the primary storage unit. 
 - Decoding: translate the instructions into language the computer understands. 
 - Executing: carries out the instructions. 
 - Storing: Results of the instructions are stored in the primary storage unit (PSU).
