PPT-Computer Memory

Computer memory is the storage space in computer where data is to be processed and instructions required for processing are stored The memory is divided into large number of small parts Each part is called cell Each location or cell has a unique address which varies from zero to memory size minus one. . Chidambaranathan. C.M. SRM . University,Haryana. Memory:-. As the word implies “memory” means the place where we have to store any thing, this is very essential part of human being just like this memory is also very important for computer system because in computer system we have to store some data or information and for storing these items we need some memory or space.. More technically referred to as Primary Storage. Computer Storage. Computers have two kinds of storage:. Primary Storage. Secondary Storage. Primary storage is also called memory.. Secondary storage is often called storage.. An Overview. Hardware Software Peripherals Motherboard CPU Memory OS Applications. Review (. Introduction.ppt. ). Course Objective.

A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory that can accept data (input), process the data according to specified rules, produce information (output), and store the information for future use. A computer is a machine that is used to store and process data electronically. Computer Definition. Hardware. Pieces . of equipment that make up a computer system. . These . are the parts you can touch (although many parts are contained within the computer’s case). . Hardware vs. Software. Hardware. Physical components. Input/Output. devices. Internal components. Software. The . programs or instructions that tell the computer what to do . Operating systems. Applications. Random Access Memory or RAM . is . the temporary storage in a computer system. This means that . once a computer is turned off, everything stored in it is lost. When an application is opened, it is copied into . Lecture . Topics. Functions of a computer.
