Memory hierarchy measures a computers performance issues. A general hierarchy would reflect the following. Internal ; processor registers and cache, main; ram and controller cards, on-line mass storage and online bulk-storage.

∙ 11y agoThe hierarchy exists because
- fast memory is expensive and has to be small
- slow memory is cheap and can be big
- Latency
- how long do I have to wait for the data?
- (cannot do anything while waiting)
- Throughput
- how many MB / second?
- not important when you're waiting
- Total time = latency + (amount of data / throughput)

∙ 10y agoThe way I understand this it is as follows: Near the processor you have fast but small memory, away from it you have slow but larger memories. How exactly speed up is achieved i do not know yet.

Draw the block diagram of ram and explain its operation?
Memory is technically any form of electronic storage. Personal computer system have a hierarchical memory structure consisting of auxiliary memory (disks), main memory (DRAM) and cache memory (SRAM). A design objective of computer system architects is to have the memory hierarchy work as through it were entirely comprised of the fastest memory type in the system.
Where does most data go first with in computer's memory hierarchy?
RAM
Where does most data go first within a computer memory hierarchy?
RAM (Random Access Memory).
Need for memory Hierarchy?
memory is required to store the data or any information.but the usual computers have very less memory space in them. so to increase the performance of your computer and to access it on a faster rate we need memory hierarchy.
What is a design objective of memory hierarchy?
One design objective of memory hierarchy is to balance resposne time and performance against each other, so that the response time of an operation minimally impacts computer performance.
Explain the inter connection between processor and memory with the help of block diagram?
Don't!
Explain the differences types of computer?
The computer architecture is concerned with how the CPU acts and uses the computer memory.
Explain the different types of Computer Architecture?
