  2. Random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory

    Magnetic core memory was the standard form of computer memory until displaced by semiconductor memory in integrated circuits (ICs) during the early 1970s. [ 10 ] Prior to the development of integrated read-only memory (ROM) circuits, permanent (or read-only ) random-access memory was often constructed using diode matrices driven by address ...

  3. Computer memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_memory

    The operating system will place actively used data in RAM, which is much faster than hard disks. When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving data from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks; this is known as thrashing.

  4. ReadyBoost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

    As the price of RAM decreased and more RAM was installed in computers, the mitigations provided by ReadyBoost to systems with insufficient memory decreased. The core idea of ReadyBoost is that a flash memory (e.g. a USB flash drive or an SSD ) has a much faster seek time than a typical magnetic hard disk (less than 1 ms), allowing it to satisfy ...

  5. Software bloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat

    These elements may include whole programs, libraries, associated configuration information, or other data. Performance may deteriorate overall as a result of such remnants, as the unwanted software or software components can occupy both hard disk memory and RAM, waste processing time, add disk I/O, and cause delays at system startup and ...

  6. Bank switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_switching

    Bank select switch on Cromemco memory board was used to map the memory into one or more of eight distinct 64 KB banks. [7] Processors with 16-bit addressing (8080, Z80, 6502, 6809, etc.) commonly used in early video game consoles and home computers can directly address only 64 KB. Systems with more memory had to divide the address space into a ...

  7. LPDDR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LPDDR

    Low-Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR), also known as LPDDR SDRAM, is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) that consumes less power than other random access memory designs and is thus targeted for mobile computing devices such as laptop computers and smartphones. Older variants are also known as Mobile DDR, and abbreviated as ...
