A fast memory technology that requires power to hold its content. Static RAM (SRAM, S-RAM) is used for high-speed registers, caches and relatively small memory banks such as a frame buffer on a ...

The most common type of computer memory and generally available today in the form of synchronous dynamic RAM chips (see SDRAM). Most all volatile memory is dynamic RAM because it uses only one ...

Virtualization is the quest to increase the efficiency of our compute nodes, driving up CPU utilization by cramming more and more workloads into a single server. As disk gives way to Flash -- and ...

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) stores data in a capacitor. These capacitors leak charge so the information fades unless the charge is refreshed periodically. Because of this refresh requirement, ...
