well, Abbreviation of arithmetic logic unit, the part of a computer that performs all arithmetic computations, such as addition and multiplication, and all comparison operations. The ALU is one component of the CPU (central processing unit).The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central processing unit of a computer, An ALU must process numbers using the same format as the rest of the digital circuit. For modern processors, that almost always is the two's complement binary number representation. Early computers used a wide variety of number systems, including one's complement, sign-magnitude format, and even true decimal systems, with ten tubes per digit.

ALU (Arithematic logical Unit)is the part of the CPU that actually does the work of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, including OR, AND, and NOT operations.
The ALU is an execution unit, like the FPU, that is fed with data from the CPU registers.

Arithmetic Logic Unit. The part of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) where binary data is acted upon.
A dispersed intermediately repetitive DNA sequence found in the human genome in about one million copies. The sequence is about 300 bp long and is found commonly in introns, 3' untranslated regions of genes, and intergenic genomic regions.The part of the CPU that performs all arithmetic computations, such as addition and multiplication, and all comparison operations, is known as the Arithmetic Logic Unit.

well,an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit that performs arithmetic and logical operations. The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessors contain one for purposes such as maintaining timers. The processors found inside modern CPUs and GPUs have inside them very powerful and very complex ALUs; a single component may contain a number of ALUs.
