10 Questions
Where can computer memory systems be located?
Computer memory systems can be located internally (e.g., processor registers, cache, main memory) or externally (e.g., optical disks, magnetic disks, tapes)
What are the key characteristics of computer memory systems?
The key characteristics of computer memory systems include location (internal or external), capacity (number of words, number of bytes), unit of transfer (word, block), access method (sequential, direct, random, associative), performance (access time, cycle time, transfer rate), and physical type (semiconductor, magnetic, optical, magneto-optical)
What are the physical characteristics of computer memory systems?
The physical characteristics of computer memory systems include volatile/non-volatile, erasable/nonerasable, and organization (memory modules)
Where are some of the materials adopted from in the lecture slides?
Some of the materials in the lecture slides are adopted from the internet and the textbook 'Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL (9th Edition)' by William Kleitz, © Prentice-Hall. Upper Saddle River, NJ, for fair use.
What is the source of the power point template used in the lecture slides?
The power point template used in the lecture slides is adapted from http://www.free-powerpoint-templates-design.com
