ALU( Arithmetic logic unit )
• An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital electronic circuit
that performs arithmetic and bitwise logical operations on
integer binary numbers.
• This is in contrast to a floating-point unit (FPU), which operates on floating point numbers. It is a fundamental building block of many types of computing circuits, including the central processing unit (CPU) of computers, FPUs, and graphics processing units.
• A single CPU, FPU or GPU may contain multiple ALUs.
