Explain different memories available in the computer in order of their hierarchy based on access time and capacity.
Explain different memories available in the computer in order of their hierarchy based on access time and capacity. [5]
Computer systems use multiple types of memory organized in a hierarchy based on two key parameters: - Access Time (speed): How fast the CPU can read/write data - Capacity (size): How much data can be stored The general principle is: faster memory = smaller capacity = higher cost per bit --- --- -...
