To start the execution process, the **operating system** loads the translated program (either from a compiler or interpreter) into **memory (RAM)**, where the CPU performs the fetch/decode/execute cycle on the instructions in the program. The control unit in the **CPU** is responsible for directing the process and facilitating communication among the various pieces of the CPU that interact with the data. The **arithmetic logic unit** is responsible for executing the mathematical and logical operations.
