The most common type of computer memory and generally available today in the form of synchronous dynamic RAM chips (see SDRAM). Most all volatile memory is dynamic RAM because it uses only one ...

A fast memory technology that requires power to hold its content. Static RAM (SRAM, S-RAM) is used for high-speed registers, caches and relatively small memory banks such as a frame buffer on a ...

I was buying a new laptop the other day and had to make a choice between 4GB of memory and 8. I can remember how big a deal it was when a TRS-80 went from 4K (that’s .000004 GB, if you are counting) ...

RAM is one of the most crucial component in a PC. Sadly, it is also the most neglected one. It comes in different makes, with different latency, bandwidth; and now-a-days RAM catering to the budget ...

RAM consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of storing a small amount of data, typically one bit (binary digit) or a few bits. These cells are organized into rows and columns, forming a ...

RAM (random access memory) is a component of every computer system, from tiny embedded controllers to enterprise servers. In the form of SRAM (static RAM) or DRAM (dynamic RAM), it’s where data is ...

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is one of those tech terms that has permeated the everyday lexicon, often used but rarely deeply understood. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your computer, buy a new ...

The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...
