is
more readily available to the processor than the computer's main
memory source
Cachememory It is also called CPU memory because it is
typically integrated directly into the CPU chip or placed on a
separate chip with a bus interconnect with the CPU.
RAM . The term is based on the fact that any storage location can be accessed directly by the processor.
Dynamic RAM .is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used
Static RAM
retains data bits in its memory for as long as power is supplied to it.
DRAM , which stores bits in cells consisting
of a capacitor and a transistor, SRAM does not have to be periodically refreshed.
Double Data Rate SDRAM
is SDRAM that can theoretically improve memory
clock speed to at least 200 MHz.
Double Data Rate 4 Synchronous Dynamic RAM
•is a type of DRAM that has a high-bandwidth interface and is the successor to its previous DDR2 and DDR3
versions.
DDR4 RAM allows for lower voltage requirements and higher module density. It is coupled with higher data rate
transfer speeds and allows for dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMS) up to 64GB.
Rambus Dynamic RAM
is a memory subsystem that promised to transfer up to 1.6 billion bytes per second.
Read-onlymemory( ROM )
is a type of computer storage containing nonvolatile, permanent data that, normally, can only be read and not written
to.
ROM contains the programming that enables a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.
Programmable ROM
(PROM)
is ROM that can be modified once by a user.
PROM .
Its a
user to tailor a microcode program using a special machine
called a PROMprogrammer.
Erasable PROM
(EPROM)
is programmable read-only memory PROM that can be
erased and reused
Erasure is caused by shining an intense
ultraviolet light through a window designed into the memory
chip.
Electrically Erasable PROM
(EPROM)
is a user-modifiable ROM that can be erased and reprogrammed repeatedly through the application of higher than
normal electrical voltage.
Virtualmemory uses hardware and software to enable a computer to
compensate for physical memory shortages by temporarily
transferring data from RAM to disk storage.
Virtual memory - A memory management technique where secondary memory
can be used as if it were a part of the main memory.
