Hardware devices communicating with the computer

Introduction

 After the computer has loaded the operating system, hardware attached to the computer must be able to communicate with the CPU. Hardware communication is done by using an interrupt request (IRQ). Each time hardware needs the attention of the computer the interrupt controller sends the request (INTR) to the CPU to stop what it is doing to process the request. Anything that was being currently done by the CPU is put on hold and stored as a memory address in the memory stack.

1. Use your keynote template to work on your presentation. Each page has to include the picture concerning the title.
2. Inform yourself about the methode 
3. Work with imovie, ipad and internet. Keep in mind, not using protected pictures.

 

 

Conclusion

The students get to know the how the computer work. They learn two main types of computers.
They get to work in a team, discussing the function. They ca sumarizing this informations and prezentation.

This will be used for their team work .
