A memory address is an identifier for a memory location, at which a computer program or a hardware device can store data and later retrieve it.
Pointer is like variable address the members in memory shell
Memory is microchip; address are processor board slots
What is meant by the term 'compaction'
The highest memory address in the 8086/8088 is FFFFFH.
memory address is stored in binary form
Physical Address refers to Storage location on Physical Memory wheres Logical Addressing is used by Memory Managing Programs to refers addresses from Physical Memory and Virtual Memory.
It takes 23 address lines to address 8 mb of memory.
It is nothing but the physical contacts with d IC chip, may be as I/o or O/p.
There is no microprocessor with !t of address memory, only virtual memory. the firt one was the 80486.
With a 20-bit address bus, a computer can address approximately 1,048,576 memory locations, which is equivalent to 1 megabyte of memory.
The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.
