What is computer memory?

The CPU is called the brain of a computer, but while the human brain does a lot of work and protects our memories, the CPU only does arithmetic and logical calculations. Processes input data, process data cannot be protected because process data must now be stored in a safe place so that this task can be performed using computer memory (computer memory). Computer memory is divided into many small parts that we call cells. Each cell has a unique address or path. Whenever you save or save a file on a computer, it is saved in a cell -


There are two types of computer memory:

Variable - It is also called primary storage, also called primary storage. It is in direct contact with the CPU and its data and instructions are used quickly and directly by the CPU. This is called a variable memory because this memory cannot store any data permanently. Example - RAM
Non-volatile - This is known as secondary storage. It is used to permanently store a large amount of data, so the secondary storage is called storage. No storage examples - hard disk

There are four types of computer memory based on storage space -


  • Register memory
  • Cache memory
  • Main memory
  • Secondary storage

Computer storage device or unit - computer storage devices
Just as there are units such as seconds to measure time, decibels to measure noise, mm to measure distance, and grams to measure weight, units in the world of computers have been designed to measure memory capacity. Is it is called a unit or unit of computer memory -

The smallest unit of computer memory is a bit. A bit is a binary signal, ie a binary value of only 0 and 1, and when four bits are mixed, it is called a nibble. ) Means 1 nibble = 4-bit byte (byte) A group of 8 bits is called a byte.

When you type a number or letter into your computer, it is usually expressed as a byte or directly takes a space that corresponds to a byte. That is, 1 byte = 8 bits = 2 nibbles, so a group of about 11099511627776 weights is called terabytes, and about two million MP3s can be stored in one terabyte.
1 bit = 0, 1
4 bits = 1 nibble
8 bits = 1 byte
1000 bytes (bytes) = one kilobyte (KB)
1024 kilobytes (KB) = one megabyte (MB)
1024 megabytes (MB) = one gigabyte (GB)
1024 gigabytes (GB) = one terabyte (TB)
1024 terabytes (TB) = one pentite (PB)
1024 pedabytes (PB) = one exabyte (EB)
1024 exabytes (EB) = one zabyte (ZB)
1024 zetabytes (ZB) = one zetabyte (YB)

computer and its types

Features of computer Speed: Although one takes time to make a small calculation, the computer can make many calculations in less than a second, this speed is provided by the processor, the speed of the computer is measured in Hz., The intensity of work of the computer it is measured in seconds per second, per millisecond, per second, per nanosecond. Accuracy: doing a job without errors means completing any future job with complete precision is the second characteristic of a computer, the computer never makes mistakes, the computer always gives the correct result, because the computer is ours Performs a task only by following the specified instructions by the computer created a program, if the result given by the computer is wrong, then Area may be a bug in the program which are designed by human Automation: When a post-instruction is given to the computer until the task is completed, it continues to work automatically without stopping, for example, when the computer prompts...

History of computer

History of computer Computer tech study:- History of computer It was difficult for humans to calculate from the start. Humans can only calculate or calculate to a limited extent without machines. In order to be able to perform many calculations, humans have to rely on the machine to meet this need. Built computers, that is, to calculate. Abacus - 3000 years ago Abacus was developed by Chinese scientists about 3,000 years ago. In a rectangular frame were wooden boards on iron bars, which were calculated or calculated from top to bottom. That said, it was the first computer to run without electricity. In fact, it was up to you to do this job. Antikythera system - 2000 years ago Antikythera was originally an astronomical calculator used to track solar and lunar eclipses in ancient Greece. Antikythera is approximately 2000 years old and was discovered by scientists in 1901 on a ship that was completely destroyed on the island of Antikythera. Acquired in a chronically dilapida...
