based on stored instructions.

A computer

General-purpose for individual use (e.g.,
laptops, desktops).

Personal Computers (Microcomputers):

Designed for technical applications, with faster processors and more RAM.

Workstation Computers:

Fastest computers for processing trillions of instructions per second, used in scientific applications.

Supercomputers:

Responsible for data processing, storing intermediate results, and controlling operations.

CPU as the Brain:

Generates timing signals for data transfer among CPU, memory, and I/O devices

Control Unit Role:

is essential system software that manages computer hardware and software resources

An operating system (OS)

️ Computer System Structure Four Components:

Computer hardware: Physical components like CPU, memory, and IO devices. Operating system: Manages hardware and software resource use. Application programs: Tools for users to accomplish tasks. Users: Central to the system; can be people or machines.

Introduction of early operating systems for managing computers.

1950s:

Development of batch processing systems

1960s:

Emergence of time-sharing systems for multiple users.

1970s:

Rise of personal computing (e.g., MS DOS, Macintosh OS).

1980s:

Proliferation of Windows and introduction of Linux.

1990s:

Growth of server operating systems and mobile OS (e.g., iOS, Android).
