Control memory is a random access memory (RAM) consisting of addressable storage registers. It is primarily used in mini and mainframe computers. It is used as a temporary storage for data. Access to control memory data requires less time than to main memory; this speeds up CPU operation by reducing the number of memory references for data storage and retrieval. Access is performed as part of a control section sequence while the master clock oscillator is running.
