  2. MemTest86 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86

    MemTest86 and Memtest86+ are memory test software programs designed to test and stress test an x86 architecture computer's random-access memory (RAM) for errors, by writing test patterns to most memory addresses, reading back the data, and comparing for errors. [6] Each tries to verify that the RAM will accept and correctly retain arbitrary ...

  4. Memory hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hierarchy

    Memory hierarchy affects performance in computer architectural design, algorithm predictions, and lower level programming constructs involving locality of reference. Designing for high performance requires considering the restrictions of the memory hierarchy, i.e. the size and capabilities of each component. Each of the various components can ...

  5. 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.

  6. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    In computing, computer performance is the amount of useful work accomplished by a computer system. Outside of specific contexts, computer performance is estimated in terms of accuracy, efficiency and speed of executing computer program instructions. When it comes to high computer performance, one or more of the following factors might be ...

  8. Memory bandwidth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_bandwidth

    Memory bandwidth. Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used 8-bit bytes. Memory bandwidth that is advertised ...
