memory access pattern or IO access pattern is the pattern with which a system or program reads and writes memory on secondary storage. These patterns...

Random-access memory (RAM; /ræm/) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data...

Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature of computer systems that allows certain hardware subsystems to access main system memory independently of the...

Static random-access memory (static RAM or SRAM) is a type of random-access memory (RAM) that uses latching circuitry (flip-flop) to store each bit. SRAM...

Examples of volatile memory are dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) used for primary storage, and static random-access memory (SRAM) used mainly for...

random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains data without applied power. This is in contrast to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM)...
