2.1 : SYSTEM CONCEPT

LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the lesson, students should be able to :1. Define computer systems 2. State the meaning of input, process, output and storage 3. Describe the information processing cycle: input, process, output and storage

COMPUTER SYSTEM
DEFINITION OF COMPUTER SYSTEM

A computer system is defined as combination of components designed to process data and store files.

Input
Input is any data or instructions that we enter into the computer system for processing

Output
Output is data that has been processed into a useful form called information.

Storage
Storage is a location which data, instruction and information are held for future use.

The Information Processing Cycle

Input
User will input the data to be processed by the processor There are some common ways of feeding input data into the system, which are:
typing on a keyboard pointing with a mouse

The Information Processing Cycle

Process
The processing unit controls all activities within the system The control unit repeats a set of four basic operations called THE MACHINE CYCLE.

1. 2.

Fetching The process of obtaining a program instruction or data item from memory. Decoding - the process of translating a program instruction into signals that the computer can execute. Executing - the process of implementing the instructions in a program Storing - the process of writing the result to the storage or memory.

Storage
The storage hold database, file and program

Output
The output devices present the processed data as useful information products for the user.
