How Software Works with Hardware
To work with hardware, software has to be readable and executable. Being “readable” means that it is laid down in a digital format. Being “executable” means that the data can be activated and run; if not, then it will be no different from static data, or “noise”, as they are sometimes referred to. If either one of these characteristics is missing, software becomes useless. In fact, it might not even be called software at all.

When a program is executed, the OS (opertating system) loads the program into main memory (or at least part of it depending on how big it is and the OS). The scheduler then chooses the next piece of the program to be run which is then retrieved and executed by the CPU. This is excessively simplified since there are entire CS courses (both grad and undergrad) on OSs. I suggest reviewing Silberschatz's "Operating Systems Concepts."

Software is a set of instructions which tell the hardware what to do. Hardware can understand software through and operating system. Without software hardware would be useless..
