What is sd ram memory?
Synchronous dynamic random access memory (in other words fast access memory that the computer uses for the operating system/kernal, and running programs)
What is L1 cache?
Fast access memory which is inside the actual CPU chip.
Is the word cache a fast central processing unit?
NO, a cache is a fast-access temporary data storage area (memory)
Ddr is an extension?
DDR is a type of RAM, or Random Access Memory. It is super fast memory used to store open programs and such.
Read only memory?
Memory hardware that allows fast access to permanently stored data but prevents addition to or modification of the data.
When upgrading laptops memory which type of memory is commonly used?
The RAM (random access memory) Think of it like a wardrobe with clothes, when you need to wear something you will access your wardrobe, with a computer it will access the RAM. the more RAM there is, the fast it can be accessed and run more demanding programs.
What are advantages and disadvantages of contiguous memory allocation?
The advantage of contiguous memory allocation is 1. It supports fast sequential and direct access 2. It provides a good performance 3. the number of disk seek required is minimal The disadvantage of contiguous memory allocation is fragmentation.
What RAM stand for in computers?
RAM is Random Access Memory. They're designed to be fast and temporary, ideal for storing programs and data that the computer is currently working on. Once the power is off, the contents of RAM will be erased.
Which memory occupies top position in memory hierarchy?
Processor registers occupy the top most position in memory hierarchy. They provide high-speed storage space and fast access to data.
Which computer memories has the shortest access time?
Usually the register set memory. The L1 cache may be as fast.
Memory chips acess items how fast?
Memory access times are measured in nanoseconds. But that is only part of the story. What exactly is the item you wish to access? Are you planning to access more that one item? Do you have control over how and where the items are stored? Are they in the cache when you want to access them. What are the details of the design of the memory you are accessing? For special problems data access can be sped up by using custom designs. What is you budget? Do you have access to a lab? Does this help?
What access mode where the device can locate a data item immediately?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is the fastest fast. But no device can locate a data item exactly immediately.
