Memory : A memory just like a human brain.It is used to store data and instructions. Computer memory is the storage space in the computer, where data is to be processed and instruction required processing are stored. Computer memory is classified into following types :
1. Cache memory : Cache memory is a very high speed semiconductor memory which can speed up the CPU. It act as buffer(small storage are ) Between the CPU and main memory. We can say that it is a high speed memory between CPU and RAM and it is used temporary store very active data and instruction during processing.
2. Primary memory : Primary holds only that data and instruction on which the computer is currently working. Data holds by primary memory is lost when power is switched of. Primary is not fast as resisters.
Primary is divided into two subcategory's :
1. RAM(Random access memory) : Random access memory is a form of computer memory that can be read and change in any any order typically used to store working data and machine code.
2. ROM(Read only memory) : the memory from which we can only read but can not write on it this type of memory is non-volatile. Then information is stored permanently in such memory during manufacture. A ROM stores such information that are required to start a computer .Rom chip are not only used in computer but also in other electronic items washing machine, microwave oven storing data permanently into this this kind of memory is called "burning the data" because in such memory is stored by using fuse link.
3. Secondary memory : Secondary memory store large amount of data permanently and this type of memory is also known as external memory or non volatile memory. The con taint of secondary memory are first transferred to the main memory and then the CPU can access it secondary storage memory divided into following types :
1. Sequential access memory : In-formations on a sequential access device can be retrieved in the same sequence only in which it is store.
2. Direct access memory : Direct access memory is also known as random access device because out of all the information stored, any randomly piece of information can be accessed immediately.
