The control unit is responsible for coordinating the computer's operations by fetching the next instruction and using control signals to regulate the other major computer components. The arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logical operations and the instruction manager is not a commonly used term in computer architecture. The operating system is a software program that manages the computer's resources and provides a platform for applications to run, but it is not directly involved in coordinating the computer's hardware operations. The term "traffic controller" is not commonly used in computer architecture.
