How Cpu's Work

A CPU works by something giving it a input, it then uses two things rom and ram it uses the ram to get the instructions it then goes to rom to know how to do it, then it gives whatever the instruction was to the output window. it then keeps doing that cycle over and over again but it does it incredibly fast.

Computing

Today we practiced some exam style questions, and peer marked the answers. After that we played a game of taboo, which my team won. Finally we looked inside a computer and looked at all the different parts.

It failures

 A good example of a IT failure is a fault in a automatic stock trading software cost Knight Capital a reported $440m.

computer systems

A computer system is a collection of parts which process inputs to make outputs, it can also be programmable. A good example of a embedded computer system
