What (who) is random access - definition


Random access         
ABILITY TO ACCESS AN ARBITRARY ELEMENT OF A SEQUENCE IN EQUAL TIME
Random-access storage; Random access file; Random-access; Random I/O; Random read; Random write; Direct access (computing)
Random access (more precisely and more generally called direct access) is the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence in equal time or any datum from a population of addressable elements roughly as easily and efficiently as any other, no matter how many elements may be in the set. In computer science it is typically contrasted to sequential access which requires data to be retrieved in the order it was stored.

Random-access storage; Random access file; Random-access; Random I/O; Random read; Random write; Direct access (computing)
¦ noun Computing the process of transferring information to or from memory in which every memory location can be accessed directly rather than being accessed in a fixed sequence.

<parallel> (PRAM) An idealised parallel processor consisting of P processors, unbounded shared memory, and a common clock. Each processor is a random-access machine (RAM) consisting of R registers, a program counter, and a read-only signature register. Each RAM has an identical program, but the RAMs can branch to different parts of the program. The RAMs execute the program synchronously one instruction in one clock cycle. See also pm2. (1997-06-04)
Examples of use of random access
1. Price fixing in the dynamic random access memory market led to higher prices of some personal computers.
2. International Trade Commission (USITC) in the countervailing duty investigation on dynamic random access memory semiconductors (DRAMs) from Korea.
3. Mitsubishi Electric declined 3.' per cent to Y'10 after saying the US Justice department was looking at its dynamic random access memory operations.
4. It has been traditionally a memory chip maker focused on Dynamic Random Access Memory (Dram) chips for PCs but it has moved into other areas in recent years.
5. Like other global chipmakers, the South Korean company has suffered this year from falling prices of dynamic random access memory (D–ram) chips amid a supply glut.
