  2. Megabyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

    In this convention, one thousand and twenty-four megabytes (1024 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is 1024 3 bytes (i.e., 1 GiB). Mixed 1 MB = 1 024 000 bytes (= 1000×1024 B) is the definition used to describe the formatted capacity of the 1.44 MB 3.5-inch HD floppy disk , which actually has a capacity of 1 474 560 bytes .

  3. Memory bandwidth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

    A 64 bit memory chip die, the SP95 Phase 2 buffer memory produced at IBM mid-1960s, versus memory core iron rings 8GB DDR3 RAM stick with a white heatsink Random-access memory ( RAM ; / r æ m / ) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code .

  6. DDR5 SDRAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM

    DDR5 octuples the maximum DIMM capacity from 64 GB to 512 GB. [8] [3] DDR5 also has higher frequencies than DDR4, up to 8GT/s which translates into 64 GB/s (8 gigatransfers/second × 64-bits/module / 8 bits/byte = 64 GB/s) of bandwidth per DIMM. Rambus announced a working DDR5 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) in September 2017.

  8. RAM limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_limit

    The 386DX had 32-bit addressing, allowing it to address up to 4 gigabytes (4096 megabytes) of memory. The Motorola 68020, released in 1984, had a 32-bit address space, giving it a maximum addressable memory limit of 4 GB.

  9. Working set size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_set_size

    In computing, working set size is the amount of memory needed to compute the answer to a problem. In any computing scenario, but especially high performance computing where mistakes can be costly, this is a significant design-criteria for a given super computer system in order to ensure that the system performs as expected.
