  2. Write-only memory (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_memory...

    In a particular implementation, a special board is added to a computer, which controls the allocation of banks to memory space. The control board has its own memory chip. A computer can write data into this chip, but only the control board itself can read the chip, [note 1] hence it is dubbed "write only" memory. [7]: 200–202

  3. Read-only memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory

    Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be electronically modified after the manufacture of the memory device. Read-only memory is useful for storing software that is rarely changed during the life of the system, also known as firmware.

  4. Optical storage media writing and reading speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_storage_media...

    In the history of optical storage media there have been and there are different optical disc formats with different data writing/reading speeds.. Original CD-ROM drives could read data at about 150 kB/s, 1× constant angular velocity (CAV), [1] the same speed of compact disc players without buffering.

  5. CD-ROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM

    A CD-ROM (/ ˌ s iː d iː ˈ r ɒ m /, compact disc read-only memory) is a type of read-only memory consisting of a pre-pressed optical compact disc that contains data computers can read, but not write or erase.

    Write once storage Write once read many (WORM) allows the information to be written only once at some point after manufacture. Examples include semiconductor programmable read-only memory and CD-R. Read only storage Retains the information stored at the time of manufacture. Examples include mask ROM ICs and CD-ROM.

  9. Page replacement algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_replacement_algorithm

    When the page that was selected for replacement and paged out is referenced again it has to be paged in (read in from disk), and this involves waiting for I/O completion. This determines the quality of the page replacement algorithm: the less time waiting for page-ins, the better the algorithm. A page replacement algorithm looks at the limited ...
