| Short for Arithmetic Logic
Unit, ALU is one of the many components within a computer processor.
The ALU performs mathematical, logical and decision operations in a
computer and is the last processing performed by the
processor. Once the necessary information by the ALU has been
processed it is sent to the computer memory.
In some computer processors the ALU is
divided into two separate parts, the AU and the LU; in this case the AU
performs the arithmetic operations and the LU performs the logical
operations.
