Abstract
- Made of Memory Element, which can be assessed using Physical Address in a Random-Access manner which is very efficient
- We use Memory Frames for easier memory management
- Example RAM
Memory Element
- A device which can remember value indefinitely
- Change value on command from its inputs
- A basic unit of storage element, able to store 1 Bit
- 2 Types - Latch & Flip-flops
Physical Address
- The address that points to a collection of Memory Element, usually 8 to form 1 Byte
Memory Frames
- Fixed-size blocks that are obtained by dividing the Main Memory
- All frames share the same size
- Size determined by the OS & Instruction Set Architecture (ISA).
- Represent actual blocks of Main Memory that hold Data & Instruction
Terminologies
Random-Access
- A random specific memory location can be accessed instantly without waiting to render until that location
