What type of memory is used for L1 cache?

Static RAM or SRAM


Which type of memory is primarily used in cache memory?

Cache memory is composed of 2 types of memory:RAM (Random Access Memory) this is used to store the data copied from main RAM as a series of Cache LinesCAM (Content Addressable Memory) this is used to store the main RAM address for each Cache Line, so the data in Cache Memory can be found and associated with main RAM. The CAM also typically contains special flags (e.g. the "dirty" bit - indicating that the Cache Line has been modified and will have to be written back to main RAM).Cache memory also contains controller logic to coordinate the necessary actions.The first computer built to have what we now call Cache memory was the IBM Stretch 7030 introduced in 1961. However IBM at the time called this feature "Virtual memory". (Confusing isn't it?)


What are examples of RAM?

Some examples of Random Access Memory (RAM) include: DDR4: A type of RAM commonly used in desktop computers and high-performance laptops. SDRAM: Synchronous Dynamic RAM, a type of RAM used in older computer systems. LPDDR4: Low-Power DDR4, a type of RAM commonly used in mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. SRAM: Static RAM, faster and more expensive than dynamic RAM, often used in cache memory and embedded systems. DDR3: Another type of RAM commonly used in older desktop computers and laptops.


What are the Examples of RAM and ROM?

RAM stands for Random Access Memory and today it's mainly spread in form of semiconductors and used in computers and other electronica ldevices for randomly data accessing. Random because you can access anything in RAM in same time as other thing with no dependencies at all. They are volatile because they are easily and often changed and the content is lost after the power is turned off. ROM stands for Read Only Memory and its used for device firmware chips to store data in order they can be protected from modification.


How does random access memory work?

Random access memory (RAM) is the best known form of computer memory. RAM is considered \"random access\" because you can access any memory cell directly if you know the row and column that intersect at that cell. When you have programs running ram, stores them, the more ram you have the more applicatios you can have open. Basically the more ram you have the faster your PC, to a certain extent RAM 2 For a more detailed article on RAM, go here: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ram.htm

Differentiate between the physical virtual and cache memory Explain briefly?

Virtual memory is a type of memory that is allocated by the operating system and is used to speed up operations. Cache memory is RAM that the CPU can access faster than regular ram which is considered physical memory. When the CPU is looking for data, it checks the cache memory first, recently used data will still be in the cache. If it does not find it there, it moves on to use the physical memory. Anytime a program or file is opened, it is first loaded into RAM (physical memory).

How RAM is different from Cache memory?

cache memory saves programs that you last used so that is takes less time when you click on a program to load it, cache memory is similar to when you save where you left off in a game. ram is the memory that is used when you run programs on your computer.


Stores frequently used instructions and data?

This is a true statement.


What stores frequently used instructions and data?

Memory cache stores frequently used instructions and data on a computer. Cache memory is stored on a memory chip in an area of the RAM.


Where the constantly needed data is stored?

Constantly needed data is stored in RAM, and depending on the system and the CPU used, it may be stored in cache memory. Cache memory is a special, high-speed type of RAM. It is more expensive and uses more current than DRAM, but it is used where speed is critical. Cache memory is generally inside of the CPU these days.


What type of memory is fastest and used for the CPU cache?

SRAM or Static RAM is the fastest, and most expensive type of RAM available in computers. it is used in the L1, L2, L3, and L4 cache on your processor and chip-set (or however many L-caches your system has). it is the fastest type of RAM because it does not have to be refreshed as frequently as DRAM.


Memory cache is referred to as?

memory cache is a small amount of RAM (referred to as static RAM) that is much faster than the rest of the RAM, which is called dynamic RAM (DRAM).
