Mind Map Of Computer Memory

This is a Mind Map Of Computer Memory. Memory is a component or system in computing that stores data for immediate use in a computer or other computer hardware and digital electrical devices. The terms memory and major storage or main memory are frequently used interchangeably. The word store is an old synonym for memory. Computer memory is faster than storage, which is slower but less expensive and has a bigger capacity. Apart from keeping opened applications, computer memory also acts as a disk cache and write buffer, allowing for faster reading and writing. Operating systems borrow RAM capacity for caching as long as active applications does not use it. The contents of the computer memory can be shifted to storage if necessary; one typical method is to use virtual memory, a memory management approach. Modern memory is implemented as semiconductor memory, in which data is stored in memory cells constructed from MOS transistors and other integrated circuit components. Volatile and non-volatile semiconductor memory are the two primary types. Flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM memory are examples of non-volatile memory. Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for primary storage and static random-access memory (SRAM) for CPU cache are both examples of volatile memory. In EdrawMind community, you can get more templates of IT or other topics in study, work and life.
