kompuutersüsteem

A kompuutersüsteem, or computer system, is a collection of interconnected hardware and software components that work together to process data and perform tasks. At its core, a kompuutersüsteem consists of a central processing unit (CPU), which acts as the brain, executing instructions. Memory, often referred to as RAM, temporarily stores data and program instructions that the CPU needs immediate access to. Storage devices, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, provide long-term storage for the operating system, applications, and user files.

Input devices, like keyboards and mice, allow users to interact with the system and provide data. Output devices, such as monitors and printers, display or present the results of the processing. These hardware components are managed and controlled by the software, primarily the operating system. The operating system provides a user interface and manages the system's resources, enabling other application software to run.

Application software encompasses the programs users interact with to perform specific tasks, such as word processors, web browsers, or games. Networking capabilities allow kompuutersüsteemid to communicate with each other, forming networks like the internet. The overall architecture and design of a kompuutersüsteem determine its capabilities, performance, and intended use, ranging from personal computers and mobile devices to large-scale servers and supercomputers.
