What is Computer?
Computer is an electronic device which is
capable of doing arithmetic calculations,
taking logical decisions and giving very
accurate results. It can also store a large
volume of data for a long time.
Father of Computer Charles Babbage

Computer… Comes from the word “compute”
Compute means “to calculate”
So Computer is calculating device
Perform calculations at enormous speed
Computer is device that operates upon “Data” or “Information”
e.g. preparing results, calculations, transactions, scientific work etc
Computer can input “Data”
Computer can process “Data”
Computer can store “Data”
Computer can retrieve “Data”
Finally…
Computer can be termed as “Data Processor”
![Page 5: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Computer?Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data
as input from the user and processes these data under the
control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the
result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can
process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and
logical) calculations.
A computer has four functions:
a. accepts data (Input)
b. processes data (Processing)
c. produces output (Output)
d. stores results (Storage)
![Page 6: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input
devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc.
Process: Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally
internal process of the computer system.
Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing.
Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for
the future use.
Computer System: All of the components of a computer system can be
summarized with the simple equations.
COMPUTER SYSTEM = HARDWARE + SOFTWARE+ USER
• Hardware = Internal Devices + Peripheral Devices All physical parts of the
computer (or everything that we can touch) are known as Hardware.
• Software = Programs Software gives "intelligence" to the computer.
• USER = Person, who operates computer.

•When the human race started doing some trade, it felt a need for a calculating device. The first calculating device, which was used 2000 years ago was called abacus and the improvements in the calculating device in that age were slow. The next change came after about 1600 years. Following this, the changes were frequent and the mechanical desk calculator was developed around 1800 A.D.
•In 1833, Prof. Charles Babbage, the father of the computer, developed a machine called analytical enginewhich was the vase for the modern digital computer.

Mainframes are the very largest computers - million dollar machines, which can
occupy more than one room, An example is IBM model 390.
Workstations are powerful user machines. They have the power to handle
complex engineering applications. They use the UNIX or sometimes the NT
operating system. Workstations can be equipped with powerful RISC processors
like Digital Alpha or MIPS.
Minicomputers are large powerful machines. They typically serve a network of
simple terminals. IBM's AS/400 is an example of a minicomputer.
Microcomputer are Small inexpensive, mass produced computers. They work on
DOS, Windows, or similar operating systems. They are used for standard
applications.

History of Intel CorporationIntel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of Integrated
Electronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information also
made the name appropriate).[5] Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network
interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips,
Embedded processors and other devices related to communications and
computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon
Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew
Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge
manufacturing capability. Though Intel was originally known primarily to
engineers and technologists, its "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s
made it a household name, along with its Pentium processors.

MEMORY DEVICE (Storage Unit )
Memory device, it is very important part of the computer. Which can store data and results for temporarily or permanently. It is depend on types of memory. Any storage unit of a computer is ranked according to following criteria
1. Access Time
2. Storage capacity
3. Cost per bit of storage
![Page 59: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Access Time
It is the time required to locate and retrieve
stored data from the storage unit in response
to the program instruction. A faster access is
preferred.

Storage CapacityIt is the amount of data that can be stored
on a storage unit. A larger capacity is
desired
Cost per unit of storageGoal is to minimize this cost

Types of memory device
Basically two types of memory device:
1. Primary memory
2. Secondary memory
![Page 62: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
PRIMARY MEMORYPrimary memory is special type of memory.
A primary storage is made of several small
areas called locations or cells . Each of these
locations is capable of storing fixed number of
bits called word length. Two types of primary
memory:
1. RAM (random access memory) (external RAM)
2. ROM (read only memory)
3. Cache memory (static ram) (internal RAM -inbuilt)
![Page 63: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
RAM (Random access memory)RAM is called random access memory. It is so called because
it is possible to randomly select and use any location of
the memory to directly store and retrieve data and instructions.
It is called read/write memory because information can be
read and written into it. Contents of RAM are volatile. In which
store data (electronically) very fast rapidly. Which means
data read & write very fast. It store data in form of
electrical. So, if power is cut-off. Then, our data
is lost. But, its store data only temporarily.
So, we used to secondary memory to store
or save our data & results permanently. It is faster than
secondary memory. But slower than cache memory.

TYPES OF RAM:
1. DRAM (DYNAMIC RAM) - REFRESH REQUIRED
2. SDRAM (STATIC DYNAMIC RAM) – NOT REQUIRED
3. DDR RAM (DOUBLE DATA RATE RAM)
![Page 65: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
It is the memory in which information is permanently stored . The information from the memory can only be read and it is not possible to write information into it. When the power supply is switched off the information is not lost unlike RAM.
In ROM special programs are written called micro programs. They are written to aid the control unit in directing the operations of a computer system. ROM is used by the manufacturer for storing the micro programs.
![Page 66: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Types of ROM:
There of two types of ROM:
PROM(Programmable ROM)
EPROM(Erasable PROM)
EPROM(Electronically EPROM)
![Page 67: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
PROM(Programmable ROM)ROM chips are supplied by the manufacturer
and it is not possible for a customer to
Modify the programs stored inside ROM
chip. But the user can convert his programs to
Micro programs and store them in PROM chip. PROM
is programmed to record the information using
a facility called the PROM programmer. But
once the chip has been programmed , the
information cannot be changed and the PROM
becomes ROM.

EPROM(Erasable PROM)It is possible to erase the information stored in
an EPROM chip and the chip can be
reprogrammed to store the information
Using PROM programmer. Information
stored in EPROM is erased by exposing
the chip for sometime in Ultra violet light.
PROM is mainly used by R & D personnel.

EPROM(Electronically EPROM)

A very high speed memory is sometimes used to increase the speed of processing by making the current programs and data available to the CPU at a rapid rate . The CPU speed is quite high as compared to the access time of main memory. Cache memory is used to compensate for the mismatch. It is a small memory between the CPU and main memory whose access time to close to the processing speed of CPU. It is not addressable by the user and is very expensive.

SECONDARY MEMORY
It is second type of computer memory. Which able to
store data or result for long period of time permanently.
Our data are store in secondary memory in magnetic
form. It have many types of memory devices:
1. HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD) (40GB – 1TB)
2. FLOPPY DISK DRIVE (FDD) (1-2 MB)
3. CD (COMPACT DISC) (702 MB)
4. DVD (DIGITAL VIDEO DISC) (4.7 GB)
5. PEN DRIVE (PD) (4GB-64GB)
6. MEMORY SD CARD (4GB-64GB)
7. ROM (READ ONLY MEMORY) (256KB-512KB)

Bits???
1/16/2015
Each 0 or 1 is called a bit. Bit is an abbreviation of
the expression BInary digiT. It is called binary,
since it is derived from the binary number system:
0 1 bit
1 1 bit
0110 4 bit
01101011 8 bit
![Page 75: Computer Basics by vineet sharma narela](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a60a591a28abd77b8b459d/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Bytes???All types of Characters like Alphabets, Numbers &
Symbols are expressed in 0's and 1's. Bits are
organized in groups of 8. A group of 8 bits is called
a byte. 8 bits = 1 byte, that is the system.
Eg:Character Bit pattern Byte number
