Storage trend (revision) Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
Chapter 4. Storage Devices 4.1. Main Memory. 4.2. Types of Main Memory. 4.3. Difference Between Primary and Secondary Storage. 4.4. Permanent Storage Devices. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.1. Main Memory (1) • Used for temporary program and data storage read from disk drives. • Programs passed to CPU for execution • Data passed to CPU for modification and returned to memory • Data is written from memory to disk when saving Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.1. Main Memory (2) • More RAM, more data can be retained in memory rather than written to hard disk drive. • Improves system performance by reducing hard disk drive access. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2. Types of Main Memory 4.2.1. ROM (Read Only Memory). 4.2.2. RAM (Random Acess Memory). Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.1. ROM (Read Only Memory) 4.2.1.1. ROM. 4.2.1.2. PROM. 4.2.1.3. EPROM. 4.2.1.4. EEPROM. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.1.1. ROM • Acronym for Read-Only Memory. • Any semiconductor circuit serving as a memory that contains instructions or data that can be read but not modified (whether placed there by manufacturing or by a programming process, as in PROM and EPROM). Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.1.2. PROM • Acronym for Programmable Read-Only Memory. • A type of read-only memory (ROM) that allows data to be written into the device with hardware called a PROM programmer. • After a PROM has been programmed, it is dedicated to that data, and it cannot be reprogrammed. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.1.3. EPROM • Acronym for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. • A nonvolatile memory chip that is programmed after it is manufactured. • EPROMs can be reprogrammed by removing the protective cover from the top of the chip and exposing the chip to ultraviolet light. • Though EPROMS are more expensive than PROM chips, they can be more cost-effective if many changes are required. • Also called reprogrammable read-only memory (RPROM). Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.1.4. EEPROM • Acronym for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. • A type of EPROM that can be erased with an electrical signal. • It is useful for stable storage for long periods without electricity while still allowing reprogramming. • EEPROMs contain less memory than RAM, take longer to reprogram, and can be reprogrammed only a limited number of times before wearing out. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2. Random Acess Memory 4.2.2.1. RAM. 4.2.2.2. SRAM. 4.2.2.3. DRAM. 4.2.2.4. SDRAM. 4.2.2.5. NVRAM. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2.1. RAM • Acronym for Random Access Memory. • Semiconductor-based memory that can be read and written by the central processing unit (CPU) or other hardware devices. • The storage locations can be accessed in any order. • Note that the various types of ROM memory are capable of random access but cannot be written to. • The term RAM, however, is generally understood to refer to volatile memory that can be written to as well as read. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2.2. SRAM • Acronym for Static Random Access Memory. • A form of semiconductor memory (RAM) based on the logic circuit known as a flip-flop, which retains information as long as there is enough power to run the device. • Static RAMs are usually reserved for use in caches. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2.3. DRAM • A form of semiconductor random access memory (RAM). • Dynamic RAMs store information in integrated circuits containing capacitors. • Because capacitors lose their charge over time, dynamic RAM boards must include logic to refresh (recharge) the RAM chips continuously. • While a dynamic RAM is being refreshed, it cannot be read by the processor; if the processor must read the RAM while it is being refreshed, one or more wait states occur. • Despite being slower, dynamic RAMs are more commonly used than RAMs because their circuitry is simpler and because they can hold up to four times as much data. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2.4. SDRAM • Acronym for Synchronous DRAM. • A form of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) that can run at higher clock speeds than conventional DRAM by employing a bursting technique in which the DRAM predicts the address of the next memory location to be accessed. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
4.2.2.5. NVRAM • NVRAM: non-volatile RAM. • Flash memory (USB disk): 32 MB to 10 GB. • Addvantage: • They are much faster to access than disk storage. • They comsume less power than disk storage. • Disaddvantage: • They cannot be written to as quickly as ordinary RAM. • They are more expensive than disk storage. Dr. Nguyen Nam Hong, Le Quy Don University
