- An easy to understand explanation of dynamic memory allocation is provided.arrow_forwardWhen we say that Direct Memory Access (DMA) has the potential to increase concurrency, what precisely do we mean? Is there a certain method through which this complicates the process of making hardware?arrow_forwardGiven that RAM (Random Access Memory) is a temporary storage medium, is it possible for computer memory to satisfy all of our requirements?arrow_forward
- If RAM (Random Access Memory) and cache memory are both transistor-based, then why do we need cache memory? Is it feasible to use a single kind of computer memory for all applications?arrow_forwardDiscuss the trade-offs between RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read-Only Memory) in terms of speed, capacity, and usage.arrow_forwardThere are several advantages to using dynamic memory rather than static memory, but there are also some disadvantages associated with using dynamic memory.arrow_forward
- The rationale behind the inclusion of cache memory in computer systems is not clear to me, given that transistors are utilised in the construction of both random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM).Temporary storage can be conceptualised as a transiently available form of RAM (random access memory). Can one envision a computing device that solely relies on a single type of memory?arrow_forwardMake sure you know the difference between random access memory (RAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) before proceeding (DRAM).arrow_forwardWhat exactly is the key distinction between primary and secondary memory, anyhow?arrow_forward
- Does associative memory vary from regular memory? Which choice is more expensive, and why is it more expensive?arrow_forwardIf random access memory (RAM) can serve as a volatile storage medium, then what need is there for cache memory, given that it, too, is built on transistors? Can one kind of computer memory be used for everything?arrow_forwardIf random access memory (RAM) also uses transistors, then what is the point of caching memory? Is it possible for a single form of memory to accommodate all uses?arrow_forward
