HOW THE COMPUTER

REMEMBERS DATA?
• Define what computer memory is
• Explain the Memory Hierarchy
• Explain how the computer uses memory
• Identify kinds of memory
• Explain random access memory
• Explain read-only memory
• Recognize the value of respect through using the computer properly

 WHAT IS MEMORY?
It encodes, stores , and retrieves information. Memory
is generally defined as any form of electronic storage.
However, the term is more commonly used to refer to
fast, temporary form of storage.
LEVELS OF MEMORY
The Memory Hierarchy
CPU
Register

Level 1 and Level 2 Cache

RAM , ROM
(e.g., physical RAM and virtual memory)

STORAGE MEDIA
(e.g., removable drives, hard drive, and network)

INPUT SOURCES
(e.g., keyboard, mouse, scanner, and removable
media)
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEMORY
1. RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)
- Temoparily stores data that the CPU is currently using.
- It is volatile memory, which means storage of data is temporary

DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY ( DRAM)

the memory chip should be refreshed frequently to retain data. It stores data in a cell composed of
capacitor and transistor.

STATIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (SRAM)

It retains data longer without the need to refresh.
2. READ-ONLY MEMORY (ROM)
-Permanently stores the important data that the computer constantly needs.
-It is nonvolatile memory, which means data storage is permanent.
PROGRAMMABLE READ-ONLY MEMORY (ROM)
3. BASIC INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS)
a type of ROM that establishes basic
communication during the bootup process.
4. CACHE
It is a high-speed storage found in the
reserved section in RAM. It is useful when
accessing frequently used data or instruction.
5. VIRTUAL MEMORY
It is a storage area that temporarily increases
the amount of data and instructions that
could be stored . It is an alternate memory
that can make RAM look seemingly larger.

2. Turn in your accomplished task on our Computer Channel
3. File must be in jpeg format.
 PROJECT
(COMPUTER, ENGLISH, FILIPINO, AP, ARTS )
In history , people have always sought out ways to make things easier to do and to understand. This is the reason why,
after so many thousands of years, a simple tool like the wheel is now more than just a wooden disk that rolls on the ground.
TASKS
