-
DRAM
- Dynamic random-access memory
-
SRAM
-Static random-access memory (does not need to be refreshed)
-
Types of basic memory
-RAM, SRAM, DRAM
-
Basic types of memory
- - Devices and components responsible for storing data
- instructions and applications on permanent or temporal basis.
-
Characteristics of flash memory
- -Durable, fast read speeds, mechanical shock resistance.
- Used as storage in phone.
-
Flash memory
-Non volatile computer storage chip…
-
Difference between cache levels
-size and speed
-
Types of Cache
-Level 1 (L1)
-Level 2 (L2)
-Level 3 (3)
-
What is the cache?
- -Small fast memory used to copy, store frequently used data
- and instructions.
-
Memory address registers (MAR)
-Holds location of data and instructions in memory
-
Memory buffer register
- -Holds data that is being read from and written too memory.
- Basically stores data to and from the memory.
-
Data register
- -Holds data temporarily that is being transmitted from
- peripheral devices.
-
Accumulator register
-Stores all system results after processing.
-
Program counter (Instruction pointer
(IP)/Instruction address register (IDR))
- -Holds the memory location of the next instruction in the
- queue for execution after the current one is executed.
-
Index registers (Base register)
- -Hardware component on in CPU, that adds, sometimes
- subtracts a number from an instruction to make it more effective.
-
Memory Data Address (MDR)
- -Located on CPU, holds data to be stored on storage of
- recent fetched data from storage.
-
Types of registers
- Memory Data Address
-Index register
-Program counter
-Accumulator register
-Data register
-Memory buffer register
-Memory address register
-
Executing is?
- -Operation by CPU to display outputs on screen then storing
- them.
-
Decoding is?
- -Is interpreting the given instructions, so the CPU will
- understand what the required process is.
-
Fetching is?
- -Is getting instructions given by the user and from the main
- memory for processing.
-
Specific function of registers
-Fetch
-Decode
-Execute
-
Function of register?
- -Quickly accept, store and transfer data and
- instructions/information that are being used by the CPU in that instance.
- So they are used to process data input by the user.
-
What are Registers?
-Small set of data holding places on the processor.
