Memory Systems
Memory System Computer Architecture का एक महत्वपूर्ण भाग है। Computer में Memory का उपयोग Data, Instructions तथा Processing Results को Store करने के लिए किया जाता है। CPU किसी भी Program को Execute करने से पहले Instructions और Data को Memory से प्राप्त करता है। इसलिए Memory System Computer की Performance को सीधे प्रभावित करता है।
Introduction
Computer System में Memory एक Storage Unit के रूप में कार्य करती है। Memory Data को अस्थायी या स्थायी रूप से Store कर सकती है। आधुनिक Computer Systems में विभिन्न प्रकार की Memories का उपयोग किया जाता है ताकि Speed, Cost और Storage Capacity के बीच संतुलन बनाया जा सके।
Memory Hierarchy का उपयोग करके Computer System Fast Access तथा Large Storage दोनों सुविधाएँ प्रदान करता है।
Definition of Memory System
Memory System वह व्यवस्था है जिसमें विभिन्न प्रकार की Memories का उपयोग Data, Instructions तथा Information को Store और Retrieve करने के लिए किया जाता है।
Memory System = Storage + Retrieval + Processing Support
Functions of Memory System
- Data Storage
- Instruction Storage
- Temporary Storage
- Permanent Storage
- Data Retrieval
- Support Program Execution
Memory Hierarchy
Memory Hierarchy विभिन्न Memory Levels का क्रम होता है जिसमें Speed, Cost तथा Capacity के आधार पर Memory को व्यवस्थित किया जाता है।
| Level | Memory Type | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Registers | Highest |
| 2 | Cache Memory | Very High |
| 3 | Main Memory | Moderate |
| 4 | Secondary Memory | Low |
Types of Memory
- Primary Memory
- Secondary Memory
1. Primary Memory
Primary Memory CPU द्वारा Directly Access की जा सकती है। इसे Main Memory भी कहा जाता है।
- RAM
- ROM
- Cache Memory
Random Access Memory (RAM)
RAM Volatile Memory होती है। Power Off होने पर इसमें Stored Data नष्ट हो जाता है।
Characteristics of RAM
- Read and Write Memory
- High Speed
- Volatile Nature
- Temporary Storage
Types of RAM
- SRAM (Static RAM)
- DRAM (Dynamic RAM)
Read Only Memory (ROM)
ROM Non-Volatile Memory होती है। इसमें Stored Data Power Off होने पर भी सुरक्षित रहता है।
Types of ROM
- PROM
- EPROM
- EEPROM
Cache Memory
Cache Memory CPU तथा Main Memory के बीच स्थित High-Speed Memory होती है।
- L1 Cache
- L2 Cache
- L3 Cache
Frequently Used Data Cache Memory में Store किया जाता है।
Secondary Memory
Secondary Memory का उपयोग Permanent Storage के लिए किया जाता है।
- Hard Disk
- SSD
- Pen Drive
- DVD
- Magnetic Tape
RAM vs ROM
| Feature | RAM | ROM |
|---|---|---|
