Explain the process how data from the hard disk is taken to the processor for processing. |
|
Answer» A processor is a high speed device. It can access data only from the Primary Memory (RAM). So we have to transfer data from hard disk to RAM. We know that a hard disk is a slow device also. So data is first transferred to RAM. A RAM is comparatively slower than processor. To reduce the speed mis-match between the RAM and processor, the data has to transfer to CPU registers. Then the processor takes the data from the CPU register because CPU register has almost equal speed as processor. |
