Central Procesing Unit

A Central Processing Unit (CPU), is the hardware within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system.

A computer can have more than one CPU; this is called multiprocessing. Some integrated circuits (IC) can contain multiple CPU on a single chip; those IC are called multicore processors.
