What is heap -short?

The microprocessor architecture divides the memory into distinct areas. Heap is one of them. This is where you can statically/dynamically allocate memory.

What is another name for short-term memory?

Short term memory is also called primary or active memory. This type of memory stores data only for a short period time and it can only be a small amount of information stored at once.


What is the meaning of near and far definition in microprocessor programming using C?

Fundamentally any pointer in C is a reference to a memory location somewhere in system memory. While this seems simple in theory, in practice this is more complex when the microprocessor architecture is considered. Two considerations in computer programs are code size and speed. For this reason microprocessors have some additional modes which help reduce code and speed up code execution. Microprocessors fetch instructions from memory and then act on them. Included in these instructions are the addresses of the memory on which they will act. Modern microprocessors can access 2^32 memory locations (or more.) Thus a full memory location would take 32 bits to encode. The instruction may get quite large and take some moderate time to load from memory. To improve this situation the microprocessor manufacturers create instructions with "short" memory locations where part of the address is stored internally in a register in the microprocessor and the rest is held in this shortened address. These registers are called segment registers (in Intel processors) and the memory references are called relative addressing modes. This background finally brings us to the meaning of near and far. A near pointer reference is quick for the processor to handle but can only reference 64k bytes of memory. A far reference contains the entire memory location specified and can therefore specify memory anywhere in the microprocessor, it is however quite a bit slower to execute. This is less of an issue in modern processors but the choice becomes near and fast but only access 64k or far and slower but the entire memory map.


What are the two types of memory on a computer?

Internal and External. Internal - also known as Primary Memory, comes inbuilt when the computer is manufactured and mainly used to run the computer while external - also known as Secondary Memory can be added to the computer storing data and information for future use


What disorder does a patient have a short term memory loss?

It can be long term memory loss or retrograde memory loss. In either case it can be called amnesia.


The part of your memory that briefly holds all the incomeing information?

The part of your memory that briefly holds all incoming information is called short-term memory. This short-term memory is usually only 5 to 7 items. You can add more to your short-term memory if you chunk it. You use this method, for example, when you remember a telephone number.
