What functions are performed by the control unit?
The CU controls and guides the interpretation, flow and manipulation of all data and information.
CU sends control signals until the required operations are done properly by ALU and memory.
Another function of CU is the program execution. It means carrying out all the instructions stored
in the program. CU gets program instruction from the memory and executes them one after the
other. CU acts as a supervisor by controlling and guiding the operation taking place.
