What is Memory in Computer?Computer memory refers to different types of data storage technologies used by the computer. A computer system is made up of a combination of types of computer memory. It is electronic that holds a place for instruction and data that a computer needs to reach quickly. Computer memory is the collection of storage units that store binary information in bits. The memory block is split into smaller components called cells. Every cell has a unique address for storing data in memory.Types of Memory in ComputerLet us now discuss the classification of various types of memories in computers. Broadly, memory is segregated into Primary, Secondary, Cache and Register. Further classification is between primary and secondary memory.1. Primary MemoryAlso known as main memory in the computer, it communicates directly with the CPU, cache and auxiliary memory. It allows immediate access from temporary memory slots or other storage locations. This type of computer memory keeps data and programs when the process is active to use them.When a program or data is activated for execution, the processor loads instructions from the secondary memory into the main memory and then starts execution. It is a volatile memory due to which any unsaved data is lost when a power cut occurs. Primary memory is of two types: RAM and ROM.1.1 RAMRAM is hardware that temporarily stores data and programs. It is the faster part of the main memory which can be directly accessed by the CPU. It reads and writes programs until the computer is switched on. RAM is of two types: DRAM and SRAM.1.2 ROMRead-Only Memory (ROM) is a permanent storage type. This is a type of read-only memory that only reads the stored information, but it does not have the capability to modify or write. Since it is a non-volatile type of memory in computer, the information stays even after a power cut or when the system has been shut down. ROM is of the following five types:1. MROM: It is the oldest ROM whose data is pre-configured via integrated circuit manufacture during the time of manufacturing.Thanks
