Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Volcanic Smog (vog) is produced from SO2 gas and is a hazard in Hawaii. Scientists monitor SO2 emission rates at KÄ«lauea volcano. Gas Plume during the 1984 eruption of Mauna Loa, Hawaii blocks out the sun.
Control Unit (CU) A control unit (CU) handles all processor control signals. It directs all input and output flow, fetches code for instructions from microprograms and directs other units and models by providing control and timing signals.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) The computer does its primary work in a part of the machine we cannot see, a control center that converts data input to information output. This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive set of electronic circuitry that executes stored program instructions.
