- The storage requirements of dynamically linked programs are lower than those of statically connected ones. When it operates, which one of these is likely to use the most random access memory (RAM)? Why?arrow_forwardI am curious about virtual Memory's benefits.arrow_forwardWhat distinguishes data memory from register memory in a computer?arrow_forward
- In what kind of memory must a program always be loaded when the CPU runs it?arrow_forwardWhy is it that the CPU normally only interacts with memory?(Recall that input and output normally travel through memory, and the CPU loads and stores data from memory.)arrow_forwardAccess to memory data may be accomplished in one of two ways: either sequentially or directly. What is it about direct access that is so popular nowadays? How can this be performed when a device that only permitted sequential access cannot be changed out for one that only allows direct access, as previously stated?arrow_forward
- Due to the fact that both RAM (Random Access Memory) and volatile memory are transistor-based, it is not clear why cache memory is required. RAM (Random Access Memory) is already available as a volatile memory. Do you think that a computer could operate on a single kind of memory or on several types?arrow_forwardNo relocatable programs—what would happen? This may complicate memory paging.arrow_forwardTechnically, RAM stands for random-access memory. Each list should have its own separate list. Why is it essential for the software storage procedure of embedded computers? Explain.arrow_forward
- Does a computer execute the memory fetch operation right away when it requires a piece of information? What does it do if not that?arrow_forwardThe CPU determines which operation to do during the fetch-decode-execute part of the fetch-decode-execute cycle.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
