Very Large Memory

<architecture> (VLM) A processor and operating system that can use more than 4GB of RAM, which is the limit for systems using 32-bit addresses. VLM architectures allow application programs and {Very Large Databases} with more than 4GB of data to be placed entirely in physical memory, with large performance enhancements. Some recent processors like the DEC Alpha can process 64 bits of data at a time and use addresses wider than 32 bits. Digital Unix (http://unix.digital.com/unix/64bit/). (Solaris http://sun.com/solaris/64bit.html). (SGI http://sgi.com/Technology/standard/faq.html). (Unix 98 http://UNIX-systems.org/version2/whatsnew/login_64bit.html). [How wide are the address busses?] (1998-07-07)

Computer memory

In computing, memory is a device or system that is used to store information for immediate use in a computer or related computer hardware and digital electronic devices. The term memory is often synonymous with the term primary storage or main memory.

Computer memory

In computing, memory is a device or system that is used to store information for immediate use in a computer or related computer hardware and digital electronic devices. The term memory is often synonymous with the term primary storage or main memory. An archaic synonym for memory is store.

Computer memory operates at a high speed compared to storage that is slower but less expensive and higher in capacity. Besides storing opened programs, computer memory serves as disk cache and write buffer to improve both reading and writing performance. Operating systems borrow RAM capacity for caching so long as not needed by running software. If needed, contents of the computer memory can be transferred to storage; a common way of doing this is through a memory management technique called virtual memory.

Modern memory is implemented as semiconductor memory, where data is stored within memory cells built from MOS transistors and other components on an integrated circuit. There are two main kinds of semiconductor memory, volatile and non-volatile. Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory. Examples of volatile memory are dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) used for primary storage, and static random-access memory (SRAM) used for CPU cache.

Most semiconductor memory is organized into memory cells each storing one bit (0 or 1). Flash memory organization includes both one bit per memory cell and multi-level cell capable of storing multiple bits per cell. The memory cells are grouped into words of fixed word length, for example, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 bits. Each word can be accessed by a binary address of N bits, making it possible to store 2^N words in the memory.
