The data path is responsible for managing the flow of data between the different components of the computational architecture. It provides the necessary infrastructure for the manipulation and processing of data by the processing unit and storage units. The data path is responsible for fetching data from memory or other input devices, performing arithmetic and logical operations on the data, and then storing the results in memory or output devices. In short, the data path is the backbone of the computational architecture and is responsible for all data management operations.
