15. How data is processed by the CPU When a user starts a program, its instruction are transferred from storage device to the memory. The users enters the data needed by the program. The control unit the interpret and executes instructions in the memory. The Arithmetic Logic unit the performs calculation on the data in the memory. As a result, information is then stored in the memory. Information can then be sent to an output device or a storage device.
