- It directs the entire computer system to carry out stored program instructions.
- It must communicate with both the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and the main memory.
- It instructs the ALU on arithmetic operations to be performed.
- It co-ordinates the activities of the other two units as well as all peripherals and auxiliary storage devices linked to the computer.
The control unit (often called a control system or central controller) manages the computer's various components; it reads and interprets (decodes) the program instructions, transforming them into a series of control signals which activate other parts of the computer. Control systems in advanced computers may change the order of some instructions so as to improve performance.
