1. RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY APPLICATION
– RAM stores data that the Processor needs to access quickly during program execution. This includes application code, program instructions,
variables, and intermediate calculation results. When you run a software application or program on your computer, its code and data are loaded into
RAM.
– RAM enables multitasking by allowing the computer to run multiple programs simultaneously. Each program is loaded into its own section of RAM.
– RAM is used for caching frequently accessed data from storage devices such as hard drives or SSDs. Caching helps improve system performance by
reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data.
– When you open a web browser, it loads web pages, images, and other content into RAM for quicker access. This caching mechanism allows for
faster page loading and smoother browsing experiences
– Video games load game assets like textures, models, and audio files into RAM to ensure smooth gameplay.
– RAM is essential for tasks involving content creation, such as video editing, graphic design, and 3D modeling. These applications require a lot of
RAM to manipulate large files and render complex scenes.
– RAM serves as a workspace where the CPU can perform calculations, process data, and manipulate files. It's faster than accessing data from a
storage drive.
– RAM is used in real-time applications like simulations, analytics, and scientific computations. RAM is involved in data transfer between different
hardware components. For example, data moved from the hard drive to RAM before being sent to the graphics card for display.
– RAM is used as a buffer for data transmission, such as in network communication and video streaming. It stores incoming data until it can be
processed or displayed.
