Cards (10)

  • Registers
    The fastest type of memory, located within the CPU, used to store data temporarily that is being processed.
  • Cache Memory
    Small amounts of memory located close to the CPU to speed up the access to frequently used data. Divided into levels (L1, L2, L3) based on proximity to the CPU, with L1 being the fastest.
  • Main Memory (RAM)
    Directly accessible by the CPU, used to store data and instructions that are actively being processed. Volatile in nature.
  • Secondary Storage
    Non-volatile memory used for long-term storage of data and programs, not directly accessible by the CPU (e.g., SSDs, HDDs).
  • Static RAM (SRAM)
    Faster and more expensive than DRAM, used for cache memory.
  • Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
    The standard RAM used in most computers, needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second.
  • Virtual Memory
    A section of a hard disk made available to the operating system to use as if it were RAM, increasing the apparent amount of RAM by swapping data to disk and back as needed.
  • Hard Disk Drives (HDDs)
    Mechanical storage devices with relatively slow read/write times.
  • Solid State Drives (SSDs)
    Faster than HDDs, with no moving parts, more expensive per GB.
  • Flash Memory
    Used in USB drives and memory cards, non-volatile and solid state.
