Storage, the computer’s second function, has gradually become more complex to meet growing demands for capacity, speed, security and energy efficiency. It takes the form of a component or a system, such as a memory subsystem or a mass storage device.
For several decades, there has been a strong trend toward integrating memory with the processor – a concept known as embedded memory, of which the cache is a typical example. Understanding its internal mechanisms and interfacing is essential for mastering how a computer works and for programming it.
Computer Memories 3 focuses on asynchronous dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). It examines the memory cell, then the internal organization of a generic memory, before delving into detail regarding the associated component known as DRAM. This book also presents the various access modes and advanced approaches such as embedded memory, 3D cells and capacitance-free cells.
1. The Dynamic Storage Cell.
2. Internal Organization of an Asynchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory.
3. Packaged Asynchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory.
4. Asynchronous Models.
5. Advanced Approaches.
Philippe Darche is Senior Lecturer of Computer Science at the University Institute of Technology (IUT) of Paris – Rives de Seine and a researcher in the Distributed Algorithms and Systems (DeLyS) team at LIP6, Sorbonne University, France. He is also the author of fifteen books on computer architecture.
