2. List of RAM drive software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAM_drive_software

   RAM drive software allows part of a computer's RAM (memory) to be seen as if it were a disk drive, with volume name and, if supported by the operating system, drive letter. A RAM drive has much faster read and write access than a hard drive with rotating platters, and is volatile, being destroyed with its contents when a computer is shut down ...

3. Computer memory - Wikipedia

   It was developed by Frederick W. Viehe and An Wang in the late 1940s, and improved by Jay Forrester and Jan A. Rajchman in the early 1950s, before being commercialized with the Whirlwind I computer in 1953. [8] Magnetic-core memory was the dominant form of memory until the development of MOS semiconductor memory in the 1960s. [9]

4. Ferroelectric RAM - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferroelectric_RAM

   Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM, F-RAM or FRAM) is a random-access memory similar in construction to DRAM but using a ferroelectric layer instead of a dielectric layer to achieve non-volatility. FeRAM is one of a growing number of alternative non-volatile random-access memory technologies that offer the same functionality as flash memory .

5. RAM drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_drive

   Mac OS X users can use the hdid, newfs (or newfs hfs) and mount utilities to create, format and mount a RAM drive. A RAM drive innovation introduced in 1986 but made generally available in 1987 [3] [4] by Perry Kivolowitz for AmigaOS was the ability of the RAM drive to survive most crashes and reboots. Called the ASDG Recoverable Ram Disk, the ...

6. Random-access memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory

   Software can "partition" a portion of a computer's RAM, allowing it to act as a much faster hard drive that is called a RAM disk. A RAM disk loses the stored data when the computer is shut down, unless memory is arranged to have a standby battery source, or changes to the RAM disk are written out to a nonvolatile disk.

7. Memory Reference Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Reference_Code

   It includes information about memory settings, frequency, timing, driving and detailed operations of the memory controller. The MRC is written in a C-language code, which can be edited and compiled by board makers. It provides a space to develop advanced features, and the ability to tune memory.

8. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

   Operating systems borrow RAM capacity for caching so long as it's not needed by running software. [3] Spare memory can be utilized as RAM drive for temporary high-speed data storage. As shown in the diagram, traditionally there are two more sub-layers of the primary storage, besides main large-capacity RAM:

9. Memory cell (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(computing)

   The memory cell is the fundamental building block of computer memory. The memory cell is an electronic circuit that stores one bit of binary information and it must be set to store a logic 1 ( high voltage level) and reset to store a logic 0 (low voltage level).
