The Memory Hierarchy Topics Storage technologies and trends Locality of reference Caching in the memory hierarchy Random-Access Memory (RAM) Key features RAM is packaged as a chip Basic storage unit is a cell (one bit per cell) Multiple RAM chips form a memory Static RAM (SRAM) Each cell stores bit with a six-transistor circuit Retains value indefinitely, as long as it is kept powered Relatively insensitive to disturbances such as electrical noise Faster and more expensive than DRAM Dynamic RAM (DRAM) Each cell stores bit with a capacitor and transistor Value must be refreshed every 10-100 ms
