Text of the page (random words):
hat access time to rotating storage media or a tape is variable the overall goal of using a memory hierarchy is to obtain the highest possible average access performance while minimizing the total cost of the entire memory system generally the memory hierarchy follows the access time with the fast cpu registers at the top and the slow hard drive at the bottom in many modern personal computers the ram comes in an easily upgraded form of modules called memory modules or dram modules about the size of a few sticks of chewing gum these can quickly be replaced should they become damaged or when changing needs demand more storage capacity as suggested above smaller amounts of ram mostly sram are also integrated in the cpu and other ics on the motherboard as well as in hard drives cd roms and several other parts of the computer system other uses of ram a so dimm stick of laptop ram roughly half the size of desktop ram in addition to serving as temporary storage and working space for the operating system and applications ram is used in numerous other ways virtual memory main article virtual memory most modern operating systems employ a method of extending ram capacity known as virtual memory a portion of the computer s hard drive is set aside for a paging file or a scratch partition and the combination of physical ram and the paging file form the system s total memory for example if a computer has 2 gb 1024 3 b of ram and a 1 gb page file the operating system has 3 gb total memory available to it when the system runs low on physical memory it can swap portions of ram to the paging file to make room for new data as well as to read previously swapped information back into ram excessive use of this mechanism results in thrashing and generally hampers overall system performance mainly because hard drives are far slower than ram ram disk main article ram drive software can partition a portion of a computer s ram allowing it to act as a much faster hard drive that is called a ram disk a ram disk loses the stored data when the computer is shut down unless memory is arranged to have a standby battery source or changes to the ram disk are written out to a nonvolatile disk the ram disk is reloaded from the physical disk upon ram disk initialization shadow ram sometimes the contents of a relatively slow rom chip are copied to read write memory to allow for shorter access times the rom chip is then disabled while the initialized memory locations are switched in on the same block of addresses often write protected this process sometimes called shadowing is fairly common in both computers and embedded systems as a common example the bios in typical personal computers often has an option called use shadow bios or similar when enabled functions that rely on data from the bios s rom instead use dram locations most can also toggle shadowing of video card rom or other rom sections depending on the system this may not result in increased performance and may cause incompatibilities for example some hardware may be inaccessible to the operating system if shadow ram is used on some systems the benefit may be hypothetical because the bios is not used after booting in favor of direct hardware access free memory is reduced by the size of the shadowed roms 27 recent developments several new types of non volatile ram which preserve data while powered down are under development the technologies used include carbon nanotubes and approaches utilizing tunnel magnetoresistance amongst the 1st generation mram a 128 kbit 128 2 10 bytes chip was manufactured with 0 18 µm technology in the summer of 2003 citation needed in june 2004 infineon technologies unveiled a 16 mb 16 2 20 bytes prototype again based on 0 18 µm technology there are two 2nd generation techniques currently in development thermal assisted switching tas 28 which is being developed by crocus technology and spin transfer torque stt on which crocus hynix ibm and several other companies are working 29 nantero built a functioning carbon nanotube memory prototype 10 gb 10 2 30 bytes array in 2004 whether some of these technologies can eventually take significant market share from either dram sram or flash memory technology however remains to be seen since 2006 solid state drives based on flash memory with capacities exceeding 256 gigabytes and performance far exceeding traditional disks have become available this development has started to blur the definition between traditional random access memory and disks dramatically reducing the difference in performance some kinds of random access memory such as ecoram are specifically designed for server farms where low power consumption is more important than speed 30 memory wall the memory wall is the growing disparity of speed between cpu and memory outside the cpu chip an important reason for this disparity is the limited communication bandwidth beyond chip boundaries which is also referred to as bandwidth wall from 1986 to 2000 cpu speed improved at an annual rate of 55 while memory speed only improved at 10 given these trends it was expected that memory latency would become an overwhelming bottleneck in computer performance 31 cpu speed improvements slowed significantly partly due to major physical barriers and partly because current cpu designs have already hit the memory wall in some sense intel summarized these causes in a 2005 document 32 first of all as chip geometries shrink and clock frequencies rise the transistor leakage current increases leading to excess power consumption and heat secondly the advantages of higher clock speeds are in part negated by memory latency since memory access times have not been able to keep pace with increasing clock frequencies third for certain applications traditional serial architectures are becoming less efficient as processors get faster due to the so called von neumann bottleneck further undercutting any gains that frequency increases might otherwise buy in addition partly due to limitations in the means of producing inductance within solid state devices resistance capacitance rc delays in signal transmission are growing as feature sizes shrink imposing an additional bottleneck that frequency increases don t address the rc delays in signal transmission were also noted in clock rate versus ipc the end of the road for conventional microarchitectures 33 which projected a maximum of 12 5 average annual cpu performance improvement between 2000 and 2014 a different concept is the processor memory performance gap which can be addressed by 3d integrated circuits that reduce the distance between the logic and memory aspects that are further apart in a 2d chip 34 memory subsystem design requires a focus on the gap which is widening over time 35 the main method of bridging the gap is the use of caches small amounts of high speed memory that houses recent operations and instructions nearby the processor speeding up the execution of those operations or instructions in cases where they are called upon frequently multiple levels of caching have been developed to deal with the widening gap and the performance of high speed modern computers relies on evolving caching techniques 36 there can be up to a 53 difference between the growth in speed of processor and the lagging speed of main memory access 37 solid state hard drives have continued to increase in speed from 400 mbit s via sata3 in 2012 up to 3 gb s via nvme pcie in 2018 closing the gap between ram and hard disk speeds although ram continues to be an order of magnitude faster with single lane ddr4 3200 capable of 25 gb s and modern gddr even faster fast cheap non volatile solid state drives have replaced some functions formerly performed by ram such as holding certain data for immediate availability in server farms 1 terabyte of ssd storage can be had for 200 while 1 tb of ram would cost thousands of dollars 38 39 timeline see also flash memory timeline read only memory timeline and transistor count memory sram static random access memory sram date of introduction chip name capacity bits access
