COMPUTER SYSTEM = combination of 4 hardware components to accept and process data, display and store the output.
4 hardware components
1.INPUT DEVICE - = device to accept data / input by users to be processed. 2. PROCESSOR = CPU will process the input data into useful information 3. OUTPUT DEVICE = device to display the data that has been processed 4. STORAGE DEVICE = device that store the data / output for future use
Example of Input Device Touchscreen CCTV Web cam Microphone Digital camera Laser pen
Monitor Headphone

1. User key in (input) the data using input device. 2. The data will be processed by processor into useful information. 3. The processed data (info) will be displayed by output device such as monitor, printer,... 4. The processed data (info) will be stored for future used. **Types of data text, graphic, audio, video Types of information text, chart, graphic, graph, total mark, video, audio.

Differences RAM vs ROM DIFFERENCES RAM Data and Program Stores during and after processing Content Temporary (sementara) Processing Time Volatility Very fast, but use a lot of power Volatile (meruap) -content loss when power is OFF
ROM Stored by manufacturer Permanent (kekal kecuali padam) Fast, use only little power Non-volatile (tidak meruap) -content still have when power is OFF

Installed internally External storage and can be accessed directly by CPU Store small amount of data Faster because closer to CPU Expensive Volatile (except ROM) Temporary Store large amount of data. Ex: hard disk Slow because have to transfer by cable to CPU Cheap Non-Volatile Permanent

1. Computer only recognise 2 states : 0 and 1. Each 0 and 1 is called bit. Combination of 0 and 1 represents alphabets symbols = characters numbers
0 = no/false/off 1 = yes/true/on
3. Byte = a collection of 8 bits to represent characters. 1 byte = 8 bits 1 byte = 1 character 8 bits = 1 byte = 1 character Example : 01000011 = A 01100011 = a
8 bits = 1 byte 1 character = 1 byte
, ,
01000010 = B 01100010 = b
8 bits = 1 byte 1 character = 1 byte

Communication Codes such as smoke signals, morse code and semaphore are used by people in the early days. Computer use binary codes to communicate. One of the widely used binary codes is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)
CHARACTER CODES
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) 1 byte = 8 bits ASCII represents 28 = 256 characters EBCDIC UNICODE

1. Computer Speed = how fast it can process data / speed the computer can turn data into information. 2. Micro processor contains a system clock. system clock controls the speed of all operations within a computer. the speed of the clock is measured by how many cycles per second the clock makes.
Hertz the clock speed unit is measured in hertz. A hertz is one cycle per second. 1 cycle 1 hertz = 1 second
MegaHertz (MHz) one million cycles of system clock. 1 000 000 cycles 1 MHz = 1 second
GigaHertz (GHz) one billion cycles of system clock 1 000 000 000 cycles 1 GHz = 1 second 1 GHz = 1000 MHz
3. Processing Speed = influence by system clock. = a CPU with higher clock speed can process more instructions per second. 4. Microprocessor Speed = are determine by their clock speed and are usually expressed in GigaHertz. (GHz).
