(2) How parts of the system are set up (that is, configured). controller—A device that controls the transfer of data from a computer to a peripheral device and vice versa. For example, disk drives, monitors, keyboards, and printers all require controllers. Glossary Glossary CPU—See Central Processing Unit (CPU). CPU cache—A section of very fast memory residing between the CPU and the computer’s main memory that temporarily stores data and instructions the CPU will need to execute commands and programs. See also cache, L1 cache, L2 cache. cursor—An on-screen symbol (usually a flashing vertical line) that indicates the position where characters will appear when you enter data. D Desktop—Displays the standard Windows® operating system look and feel. default—The setting selected by a program when the user does not specify an alternative setting. device—A component attached to the computer.
