RAM (Random Access Memory) and SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) are the most commonly used types of memory used to hold instructions. RAM is the familiar chips you see people use to upgrade memory on the machine. SRAM is normally integrated and very expensive but much faster than normal RAM because it communicates directly with the processor.
What else can I help you with?
What memory holds data and instructions as the CPU processes them?
memory
What is the name of the memory chips that holds data temporarily?
Random Access Memory
Temporarily holds data and instruction as the CPU processes them?
Random Access
RAM that holds data and instructions that the memory controller anticipates the processor will need next?
memory cache
What is computer circuitry that temporarily holds data waiting to processed known as?
The Ram - Random Access Memory temporarily holds programs and data while the computer is on and allows the computer to access that information randomly.
Data and program instructions are temporarily held in what while the processor is using them?
RAM or the processor cacheWhen the data and instructions reach the RAM they are operated on immediately.For data and instructions that the CPU is working on right at that time, these memory locations are called Registers. Many systems have dedicated registers just for EITHER data or instructions, while others have a set of registers which can be used for either, and still other CPUs have all three (data, instruction, and general-use registers).
How mar and mdr work?
MAR (Memory Address Register) holds the address of the memory location to be accessed or written to in the memory unit, whereas MDR (Memory Data Register) holds the actual data that is to be written to a memory location or data read from a memory location. MAR is used to specify the address, while MDR is used to temporarily store the data during memory operations.
What is the the type of memory that temporarily holds data and programs while the computer is on called?
"RAM" Random Access Memory. Once the PC or MAC is rebooted or powered down, all memory stored in the RAM is dumped.
What temporarily holds data and programs while computer is on?
The RAM (random access memory) usually stores temporary files and cache to help speed up your computer by not having to repeatedly load the same thing but is you do not restart your computer the RAM will become full and it will slow down your computer so every now and then just restart the computer for best performance.
Is ram erased when computer is turned off?
No,it does not because it is volatile memory.
What are the functions of DRAM memory?
Main memory is the storage that is directly available to the CPU of a computer and is made3 up of RAM and ROM. RAM's (Random Access Memory) purpose is to hold the data and instructions temporarily which the CPU will process. ROM's (Read Only Memory) function is to hold data necessary for starting up the computer permanently , whose contents cannot be changed by the user.
Is ram permanent memory that assists with computer start up?
RAM is used for storing the start-up instructions on the computer. This serves as the memory of the computer which will retrieve such instructions.
