(a). Program storage area.
Holds instructions from both System software & Application programs, which enter the central processor from an Input device.

(b). Working storage area.
Is used to hold the data being processed as well as the intermediate results of such processing.

(c). Input storage area.
It temporarily holds data that has been read from an Input device. Since Input devices operate at slower speed than the Processor, part of the Input storage area serves as a Buffer. A Buffer helps free the CPU to get on with other work while the slower I/O operations are completing.

(d). Output storage area.
Holds the finished results of processing unit released to the user.
