Internal Memory: Presented By: SELINA YOUSAF ROLL NO: 0632-BH-MB-19 Section: H1

Internal memory refers to the memory that can be accessed quickly while the computer is running. There are two main types: ROM and RAM. ROM is non-volatile and stores data even without power, used for booting. RAM is volatile and temporarily stores data and programs being used. RAM comes in dynamic and static forms. Cache memory sits between the CPU and RAM and is even faster than RAM, helping the CPU access data more quickly. Cache memory comes in three levels - L1 cache is fastest, L2 is larger, and L3 is largest but slowest.

INTERNAL MEMORY

Presented by: SELINA YOUSAF


ROLL NO: 0632-BH-MB-19
SECTION: H1
DEFINITION OF INTERNAL MEMORY
• Internal memory Is also called “Main or Primary
Memory” refers to memory that stores small amounts of
data that can be accessed quickly while the computer
is running.
TYPES OF INTERNAL MEMORY
There are two types of internal memory.
• ROM
• RAM
• Chache memory
1. ROM
Rom stands for read-
only memory. It is
non-volatile, which
means it can retain
data even without
power. It is used
mainly to start or
boot up the computer.
2. RAM
It stands for random-
access memory, which
temporarily stores data,
while the central
processing unit is
executing other tasks.
With more RAM on the
computer, the less the CPU
has to read data from the
external or secondary
memory , allowing the
computer to run faster.
RAM is fast but it is
volatile, which means it
will not retain data if there
is no power .
TYPES OF RAM

Dynamic ram Static RAM


• Each DRAM memory cell is • It is made up of 4 to 6
made up of transistor and a transistors.
capacitor within an integrated
circuit, and a data bit stored in • It keeps data in the memory

always leak a small amount, to the system unlike DRAM,
the capacitor will slow which has to be refreshed
discharge, causing periodically.
information stored in it to
drain. • It is faster but more
expensive.
• It is widely used as a
computer’ main memory.
3. CHACHE MEMORY
• Chache memory is sometimes called central processing
unit because it is typically integrated directly into the CPU
chip or placed on a separate chip.
• It is more accessible to the processor , cache memory
needs to be much smaller than main memory.
• It has less storage space.
• It is more expensive than main memory.
• It operates between 10 to 100 times faster than RAM ,
requiring only a few nanoseconds to respond to the CPU
request.
TYPES OF CHACHE MEMORY
It is categorized as ‘levels’ that describe its
closeness and accessibility to the microprocessor.
There are three general chache levels.
• L1 Chache memory
• L2 Chache Memory
• L3 Chache Memory
L1 chache:
It is the fastest memory that is present in a computer system . It
typically goes up to 256KB. It usually spilt it into two waysinto the
construction chache and data chache. The instruction chache deals with the
information about the operation that the CPU has to perform, while data
chache holds the data on which the operation is to performed.
L2 CHACHE:
It is bigger in size. L2 chache holds the data that is likely to be
accessed by the cpu next. They are present on the CPU core and each
core getting its own chache.
L3 chache:
It is the largest memory unit, and also the slowest one. It can range
from 4 Mb to upwards of 50Mb
