memory

the part of a COMPUTER that stores information. The two main types of computer memory are RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). HARD DISKS and FLOPPY DISKS provide additional memory capacity for storing computer programs and data.

According to the memory location, the shared memory is divided into two types: on-chip shared memory and external shared memory.

Research on the inter-core communication of multi-core embedded system via FPGA

Although it is a little complicated to exactly keep track of the exact time in which every memory location in the cache was used, heuristics which approximate LRU's behaviour are used in most of the standard caches.

Adaptive Cache Replacement Policy (ACRP): a dynamic replacement policy for cache management

The difficulty comes from the memory location recall and auto-ranging steps, which take an indeterminate amount of extra time (see Table 1).

Increasing RF device test throughput with better instrument coordination

One decimal digit op codes supports 10 instructions, and two decimal digit addresses support 100 memory locations.

Using instructional simulation in the computing curriculum

The solution constructed uses at most D - 1 additional memory locations in cache.

Minimizing Stall Time in Single and Parallel Disk Systems

to produce multiple assignment code, and for this, different instances of the index points in a variable domain will be allocated to the same memory location.

Optimizing Memory Usage in the Polyhedral Model

Atomic operations that use optimistic synchronization use a load-linked primitive to retrieve the initial value in an updated memory location.

Effective Fine-Grain Synchronization for Automatically Parallelized Programs Using Optimistic Synchronization Primitives

And during some period of time, that memory location will have an obsolete value of the variable.

Architecture

This illusion is transparent to programmers in spite of the fact that main memory storage may be physically distributed and multiple data copies of the same memory location may exist in private caches.

Verification techniques for cache coherence protocols

Thus, if a computer could only use 1 digit (bit) to identify a memory location, it could address only 2 bytes of memory: zero and one.

Memories are made of this

Since 80286, 80386, and 80486 CPUs can directly address any memory location from 0 KB to 16 MB (80286) or 1 GB in 80386 and 80486 CPUs, these machines do not need to rely on paging memory via the EMS 4.

Thanks for the memory

The new device, MSR720, will extend Bandwidth Engine capabilities through the ability to simultaneously read and write to a specific memory location.
