2. Reliability, availability and serviceability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability,_availability...

   Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS), also known as reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM), is a computer hardware engineering term involving reliability engineering, high availability, and serviceability design. The phrase was originally used by IBM as a term to describe the robustness of their mainframe computers.

3. Semiconductor memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_memory

   The two main types of random-access memory (RAM) are static RAM (SRAM), which uses several transistors per memory cell, and dynamic RAM (DRAM), which uses a transistor and a MOS capacitor per cell. Non-volatile memory (such as EPROM, EEPROM and flash memory) uses floating-gate memory cells, which consist of a single floating-gate transistor per ...

4. Random-access memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory

   (For example, if a computer has 2 GB (1024 3 B) of RAM and a 1 GB page file, the operating system has 3 GB total memory available to it.) When the system runs low on physical memory, it can " swap " portions of RAM to the paging file to make room for new data, as well as to read previously swapped information back into RAM.

5. RAM drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive

   RAM drives use normal system memory as if it were a partition on a physical hard drive rather than accessing the data bus normally used for secondary storage. Though RAM drives can often be supported directly in the operating system via special mechanisms in the OS kernel, it is generally simpler to access a RAM drive through a virtual device ...

6. Memory cell (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(computing)

   Modern random-access memory (RAM) uses MOS field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) as flip-flops, along with MOS capacitors for certain types of RAM. The SRAM memory cell is a type of flip-flop circuit, typically implemented using MOSFETs. These require very low power to maintain the stored value when not being accessed.

7. Random-access machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_machine

   In computer science, random-access machine (RAM or RA-machine) is a model of computation that describes an abstract machine in the general class of register machines.The RA-machine is very similar to the counter machine but with the added capability of 'indirect addressing' of its registers.

8. Letter of thanks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_thanks

   A letter of thanks or thank-you letter is a letter that is used when one person/party wishes to express appreciation to another. Personal thank-you letters are sometimes hand-written in cases in which the addressee is a friend, acquaintance or relative. Thank-you letters are also sometimes referred to as letters of gratitude. These types of ...

9. Memory controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_controller

   Double data rate (DDR) memory controllers are used to drive DDR SDRAM, where data is transferred on both rising and falling edges of the system's memory clock.DDR memory controllers are significantly more complicated when compared to single data rate controllers, [citation needed] but they allow for twice the data to be transferred without increasing the memory's clock rate or bus width.
