Even the first computer designs, [[Charles Babbage]]'s [[Analytical Engine]] and [[Percy Ludgate]]'s Analytical Machine, clearly distinguished between processing and memory (Babbage stored numbers as rotations of gears, while Ludgate stored numbers as displacements of rods in shuttles). This distinction was extended in the [[Von Neumann architecture]], where the CPU consists of two main parts: The [[control unit]] and the [[arithmetic logic unit]] (ALU). The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and memory, while the latter performs arithmetic and [[Bitwise operation|logical operations]] on data.
