RAM is volatile storage that holds the program and data that the CPU would be processing.
RAM is for Random Access Memory and it is used as sort of a temporary data holding place for the CPU (Central Processing Unit). It holds the code of the program you are running and data being processed.
The part of the computer that serves as a work area to store a program and its data while the program is running is the Random Access Memory (RAM). RAM temporarily holds the program's code and data that the CPU needs for processing, allowing for quick access and execution. Unlike permanent storage, data in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off.
It holds your loaded program's and the data to go with it :) hope I helped 😉
MAIN MEMORY
The device that stores data for processing and enables the running of multiple applications is the computer's Random Access Memory (RAM). RAM temporarily holds data and instructions that the CPU needs for active tasks, allowing for quick access and efficient multitasking. While storage drives like SSDs or HDDs retain data long-term, RAM is essential for immediate processing needs and application performance.
Static RAM, (SRAM)
Yes
Contain temporary processing data
The CPU primarily uses the cache memory and main memory (RAM) as its workspaces for processing data. Cache memory is a small, high-speed storage area that holds frequently accessed data and instructions, allowing for quicker access than RAM. When the CPU needs to process information, it first checks the cache and then retrieves data from RAM if it's not available in the cache. This hierarchical memory structure helps optimize performance and efficiency in processing tasks.
In the RAM
The only way to make your Word Processing program work faster is by upgrading the RAM.
Classification of RAM is a random access memory module designed to store temporary data for processing. When data is completely processed by the CPU, the data stored in RAM will be erased except for processes that need to be constantly running. If RAM is full and the CPU still needs more information to process, RAM can allocate temporary virtual memory on the hard drive known as a page file or swap file. This file and RAM constantly swap data based on the process priority until RAM space is no longer used, but the swap file still contains data that was dumped. Swap file data is erased and rewritten the next time RAM is overloaded and needs to dump data for immediate processing.
