please help me with this question. how many memory chips are needed to construct 2M* 16 memory system using 512K * 8 static memory chips?
Mem, short for "memory", refers to the computer's ability to store and retrieve data. It is needed to construct a mem system because it allows the computer to run programs and store information.
The amount of mem needed for a mem system depends on several factors, such as the type and number of programs to be run and the amount of data to be stored. Generally, the formula for calculating mem needed is (number of programs) x (minimum required mem for each program) + (extra mem for data storage).
The minimum required mem for a program is the amount of mem that the program needs to run without any issues. This can vary depending on the complexity of the program and the amount of data it processes. It is important to check the system requirements of a program to determine the minimum required mem.
The amount of extra mem needed for data storage can be determined by estimating the size of the data that will be stored and adding a buffer for future data growth. It is recommended to have at least 10-20% extra mem for data storage.
Yes, a mem system can be upgraded by adding more physical mem to the computer, as long as the motherboard and operating system support it. It is important to check the system's maximum mem capacity and compatibility before upgrading.
