Definition of memory and its classification

Memory Hierarchies

Definition of memory and its

classification

Ø Memory

• When you launch a program, it is loaded into and run from memory

Ø Classification of Memory

Ø Internal Processor Memory

Ø Main Memory:

Example: RAM, ROM.

Ø Secondary Memory:

Example: CD, Floppy etc.

Memory Capacity

ü Bit

ü Byte: 1 byte= 8 bits

ü Kilobyte (K or KB): 1KB=1024 bytes

ü Megabyte (M or MB): 1MB=1048579 bytes

ü Gigabyte (G or GB): 1GB=1048876 byte

ü Terabyte

Memory Hierarchies

General Properties of Memory Devices

• Access Time: The average time required to read a fixed amount of information from the memory

• Cycle time: The minimum time between two consecutive memory access operations is called the cycle time.

• Data Transfer rate: The maximum amount of information that can be transferred to or from the memory every second is called the data transfer rate.

Main memory or Primary memory

2008-12-25T09:18:00.001-08:00

Main memory or Primary memory

Ø Read only Memory

Ø Random Access Memory

Ø Cache Memory

Read only Memory (ROM)

Read Only Memory.
Used for storing programs & data permanently.
User may read data from ROM but may not write on ROM.
Permanent or Nonvolatile memory

Random Access Memory (RAM)

Ø Temporary storage that can be read from or written into by the user.

Ø Used primarily to store user programs and data.

Ø Temporary or Volatile memory.

Ø Determines a computer’s speed and power

Ø 2 types of RAM:

Static RAM

Dynamic RAM

Differences between SRAM and DRAM

2008-12-25T09:15:00.000-08:00

SRAM	DRAM
High speed RAM	Relatively slower
SRAM is costly	Less costly
Does not require refreshing	Requires refreshing periodically
Generally used for cache	Used for main memory

Difference between RAM & ROM

2008-12-25T09:10:00.000-08:00

RAM	ROM
Random Access Memory	Read Only memory
User can read & write into it	User can only read from it
For any type of processing, user must store program & data into RAM	Manufacturer stores instruction into ROM permanently
Temporary or volatile memory	Permanent or non-volatile memory

Cache Memory or High Speed Buffer

2008-12-25T09:01:00.000-08:00

Cache Memory

• Cache memory is high-speed memory that holds the most recent data and instructions that have been loaded by the CPU.

• Cache is located directly on the CPU or between the CPU and RAM, making it faster than normal RAM.

• CPU-resident cache is called Level-1 (L1) cache. External cache is called Level-2 (L2) cache.

• The amount of cache memory has a tremendous impact on the computer's speed.

Secondary Memory or Secondary Storage Devices

2008-12-25T08:53:00.000-08:00

Secondary Memory

Ø Nonvolatile

Ø Slow compared to primary memory

Ø Less costly & high capacity

Categorizing Storage Devices

• The hardware that writes data to or reads data from a storage medium is called a storage device. A floppy disk drive is a storage device.

• Storage devices hold data, even when the computer is turned off.

• The two primary storage technologies are magnetic and optical.

• Magnetic storage are:

-Diskettes (floppy disks)

-Hard disks

• Optical storage are:

-Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM)

-Digital Video Disk Read-Only Memory (DVD- ROM)

Comparison of primary & secondary memory

2008-12-25T08:50:00.000-08:00

Characteristics	Primary	Secondary
Location with respect to the CPU	Directly accessible	Indirectly accessible
Cost	More expensive	Less expensive
Capacity	Lower than secondary memory	Several thousand times higher than primary
Means of storing information	Semiconductor chips	Magnetic and optical
