Read only memory, ROM is non
volatile so when you turn off
your computer/device it'll save
everything in ROM
ROM is the thing that keep you computer
running if you had no ROM your monitor
wont proccess any words because its there
to read only what its set to do
It doesn't lose data when your device
is turned off
Once data has been written onto a
ROM chip, it cannot be removed and
can only be read
Read only memory
Cache
To store data locally in order to speed up subsequent
retrievals. Pronounced cash. See Web cache and
browser cache.
GHz
MHz
The cpu is made of cache,
cores and clock speed
Reserved areas of memory in every computer
that are used to speed up instruction
execution, data retrieval and data updating.
Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random access
memory RAM that a computer microprocessor can access more
quickly than it can access regular RAM
RAM
RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym
for random access memory
a type of computer memory that can be
accessed randomly
that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching
the preceding bytes.
Random access memory (RAM) is a type of data storage used in
computers that is generally located on the motherboard.
This type of memory is volatile and all information that
was stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned
off
Random access memory
Flash Memory
a kind of memory that retains data in the
absence of a power supply
for transfering data between a personal
computer PC and digital device.
Flash memory is a non-volatile memory chip used for
storage
Flash memory is a non-volatile memory chip used for
storage and for transfering data between a personal
computer
Flash memory is a type of electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory
Solid State
This is no moving parts and it used flash memory
Because it has no moving parts its hard to hack
solid states are faster than hard
disk because there is zero latency
An all-electronic storage device that is an alternative to a hard disk
Virtual
memory
Virtual memory is needed to
let more memory in then there
is available in the system
it is temporary memory
it is located on the
hard drive
Virtual memory is an area
of secondary storage that is
used like RAM
rapidly exchanging data in memory for data on disk, to
the exclusion of most application-level processing
Disk thrashing: In computer science, thrashing occurs when a
computer's virtual memory subsystem is in a constant state
of paging
When the hard drive is
full you can no-longer
do things such as copy
and paste
Registers
A processor register CPU register is one of
a small set of data holding places that are
part of the computer processor
A register may hold an instruction, a
storage address, or any kind of data
The storage time of internal registers is
extremely temporary, as they often hold
data for less than a millisecond
