Configuration you will advise for memory distribution

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the configuration of memory distribution, particularly focusing on cache memory and its role in computing. Participants explore various aspects of memory types and their hierarchy, including DRAM and CD-ROM.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks advice on the best configuration for memory distribution and expresses confusion about cache memory.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the original query, indicating it is ambiguous.
  • A later reply provides a brief explanation of cache memory, describing it as a temporary storage for frequently accessed information and noting its impact on access speed.
  • One participant introduces a hierarchical model of memory distribution, suggesting that DRAM is at the top and CD-ROM at the bottom.
  • Another participant counters this by stating that processor registers are at the top of the hierarchy.
  • There is agreement among participants regarding the position of processor registers in the memory hierarchy.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally express uncertainty about the original question and the specifics of memory distribution. There is a disagreement regarding the hierarchy of memory types, particularly the positioning of DRAM and processor registers.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific definitions and assumptions regarding memory types and their configurations, which may affect the clarity of the conversation.

In particular which configuration you will advise for memory distribution and in particular i am always puzzled by this cache memory:confused:

You need to be more specific about what you want to do and what you want to know. That's a pretty ambiguous post.
 
yeah...you are right ,,but now my query is pacified,Thanks
 
What exactly are you asking for?

Here is an answer about cache memory if you were wondering: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid5_gci211730,00.html

Cache is basically a temporary bank of recent information (for the most part). It's size and speed varies, but as you can tell, having information stored in cache helps because it's easier/faster to access redundant information for example (which is why when you open certain programs, it's usually faster opening the program the second time around and so on until the cache is cleared).

However, about the memory distribution, I am unclear about what you are talking about.
 
there is actually a pyramid sort of thing which is formed...in which d-ram comes on top and cd rom comes down below..
 
Actually, the processor's registers are on top i believe.
 
yeah you are right..
