                CPU is the brain of computer. It has three components: ALU, CU, MU.

                CPU is the memory actually because it has CU (control unit). Though we have computer memory unit (MU) like : registers, cache level 1 and level 2, ram, ROM. CU in the CPU, control all this. The control unit is connected with northern and southern bridge which makes data flow successful. ALU is in CPU it performs all arithmetic and mathematical computation. The clock is in CPU it assign time to each operation (process) that is being processed.

                What are the functions of ALU, CU & MU ?

                In biology, the nervous system controls the activities of the brain. That is similar with the Motherboard and the CPU. It perform, s task as storing, executing, Performs mathematical operations and equally controls the output of processed data.

                Can you please give a brief description of what the ALU, CUI and MU are?

                CPU contain hard disk, RAM, graphics card, microprocessor. All processing units are include. So CPU is brain of all computer.

                Before, going inside go to its (CPU) meaning, it is explicitly clear that it is brain.

                It is Called the CPU because it consist of the brain of the system both arithmetic and other kinds of task are processed by the CPU.

                CPU consists of 3 components they are ALU, CU & MU.

                The central processing unit is commonly called the CPU. There 3 components of the CPU. They are control unit, Arithmetic & logic UNIT(ALU) The storage or memory. CPU is the heart of the entire computer system. CPU is responsible for processing the input & converting it into output.
