RAM (random access memory) is a type of volatile memory that can be accessed randomly and stores recently used data and instructions to allow for fast access by the CPU. It consists of small electronic chips mounted on modules that are installed in sockets on the motherboard. Different types of RAM have been developed over time with improved speeds, including DRAM, FPM, EDO, SDRAM, DDR RAM, and Rambus RAM, with later varieties operating at higher clock frequencies in a synchronous manner with the system bus. RAM modules come in various sizes and speeds depending on the memory technology.

The current technological revolution around the world has made the world faster with the
advancements in sophisticated computer devices. Computer, as a digital machine, enables people
to work faster than ever before. The memory of this device is a great feature of this digital tool.
RAM, Random Access Memory is the primary tool of data storage that is inserted in the
integrated circuit while data can be accessed in any sequence or randomly. Thus it is termed
RAM or Random Access Memory.
The journey of dynamic and static RAM was initiated in 1960s which can readily
developed in 1970s. Now a days the technology is much more user friendly. RAM is further
divided into three types:
• Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
• Static RAM (SRAM)
• Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM = RAM + Battery)
but we will discuss only first two i.e. (DRAM and SRAM).
Dynamic RAM is the most common memory used now a days. Inside of the RAM chip
there is a memory cell that holds one bit of information and is divided into further two parts: a
transistor and a capacitor. The capacitor holds the bit of information as a state of 0 or 1 and the
transistor acts as a switch that lets the control circuitry on the memory chip that reads the
capacitor or change its state. The capacitor is like a small bucket that stores the electrons in it. To
store 1, bucket gets filled with electrons and to store 0 buckets gets empty. The problem with the
capacitor’s bucket is that it has a leak and in a matter of few seconds a full buckets becomes
empty. Therefore they need to be recharged continuously in order to work properly and because
of this reason it has been given the name Dynamic RAM. This refreshing phenomenon is time
consuming as well.
In static RAM a flip-flop holds each bit of a memory. A flip-flop memory cell takes 4 to
6 transistors along with the wiring. Due to this reason they draws current all the time and gets
warm easily, therefore, they cannot be packed together tightly. They do not require any
refreshing method though, therefore, they are very fast memory chips.
RAM (Random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor.
RAM stands for random access memory. these slide are about ram. ram has two main types SRAM(static ram) and DRAM(dynamic ram). in these slides SRAM and DRAM are defined briefly. read and write operations of RAM, RAM size, RAM fundamentals and timing waveform are also discussed in these slides.
Semiconductor memory is a digital electronic semiconductor device used for digital data storage, such as computer memory. It typically refers to MOS memory.

RAM(Random Access memory) is a volatile memory.RAM is our working memory storage. All the data, which the PC uses and works with during operation, are stored here. Data are stored on drives, typically the hard drive. However, for the CPU to work with those data, they must be read into the working memory storage, which is made up of RAM chips.
Historical review:
Back in the 80's, PC's were equipped with RAM in quantities of 64 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB and finally 1 MB. Around 1990, advanced operating systems, like Windows, appeared on the market, that started the RAM race. The PC needed more and more RAM. That worked fine with the 386 processor, which could address larger amount of RAM. The first Windows operated PC's could address 2 MB RAM, but 4 MB soon became the standard. The race has continued through the 90's, as RAM prices have dropped dramatically. Today it would be foolish to consider less than 64 MB RAM in a PC. The OS like windows Xp requires better than this.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. RAM
Description:
Ram (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating
system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that can be quickly reached by
the computer’s processor.
Ram is much Faster to read and write than floppy disk,hard disk and CD-ROM.
Data stays there only as long as computer is running.
When computer is turned off it loses its data.
It is a volatile memory.
Physical Appearance Of Ram
RAM consists of small electronic chips which are mounted in modules (small printed circuit
boards). The modules are installed in the PC’s motherboard using sockets, there are typically 2, 3
or 4 of these. On this motherboard there are only two, and that’s a bit on the low side of what is
reasonable.
RAM modules are installed in sockets on the motherboard. In the background you see the
huge fan on a Pentium 4 processor.
2. Each RAM module is a rectangular printed circuit board which fits into the sockets on the
motherboard:
Fig. 512 MB DDR RAM module.
On a module there are typically 8 RAM chips which are soldered in place. There can also
be 16 if it is a double-sided module. Below is a single RAM chip:
Fig.
Figur130.

chip, a 256
megabit
circuit.
On the bottom edge of the module you can see the copper coated tracks which make
electrical contact (the edge connector). Note also the profile of the module; this makes it
only possible to install it one way round and in the right socket.
Module or chip size
All RAM modules have a particular data width, which has to match the motherboard, chipset,
and ultimately the CPU. Modules using the two most common RAM types, SD and DDR RAM,
are 64 bits wide.
3. Different Types Of Ram
In the old days
Back in the 1980’s, DRAM was used. This was dynamic RAM, which was relatively
slow. It was replaced by FPM (Fast Page Mode) RAM which was also dynamic, only a
bit faster.
Originally, loose RAM chips were installed directly in large banks on the motherboard.
Later people started combining the chips in modules.
FPM RAM could not run any faster than 66 MHz, but that was fine for the system bus
clock frequency in the original Pentium processors.
After FPM came EDO RAM (Extended Data Out). EDO is a bit faster than FPM because
the data paths to and from the RAM cells have been optimised. The gain was a 3-5 %
improvement in bandwidth. The clock frequency could be increased to 75 MHz, but
basically, EDO is not very different to FPM RAM.
SDRAM
The big qualitative shift came in around 1997, when SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
began to break in. This is a completely new technology, which of course required new
chipsets. SDRAM, in contrast to the earlier types of RAM, operatessynchronously with
the system bus.
Data can (in burst mode) be fetched on every clock pulse. Thus the module can operate
fully synchronised with the bus – without so-called wait states (inactive clock pulses).
Because they are linked synchronously to the system bus, SDRAM modules can run at
much higher clock frequencies.
The 100 MHz SDRAM (PC100) quickly became popular, and with new processors and
chipsets, the speed was brought up to 133 MHz (PC133).
4. DDR RAM
It is expensive to produce fast RAM chips. So someone hit on a smart trick in 1999-2000,
which in one blow made normal RAM twice as fast. That was the beginning of DDR
RAM (Double Data Rate). See the module in Fig. 131.
In DDR RAM, the clock signal is used twice. Data is transferred both when the signal
rises, and when it falls. This makes it possible to perform twice as many operations per
clock pulse, compared to earlier RAM types:
Timings
DDR RAM exist in many versions, with different the clock frequencies and timings. The
timing indicates how many clock cycles there are wasted, when the motherboard waits
for the memory to deliver the requested data.
With smaller numbers, we have better timings and the CPU having fewer idle clock
cycles. The better timing, the more expensive the RAM module is.
Rambus RAM
Rambus Inc., as already mentioned, has developed a completely new type of RAM technology.
Rambus uses a completely different type of chip, which are mounted in intelligent modules that
can operate at very high clock frequencies. Here is a brief summary of the system:
The memory controller delivers data to a narrow high-speed bus which connects all the
RDRAM modules in a long series.
The modules contain logic, which stores the data in the format the chips use.
Data is written to one chip at a time, in contrast to SDRAM where it is spread across
several chips.
5. The modules work at 2.5 volts, which is reduced to 0.5 volts whenever possible. In this
way, both the build up of heat, and electromagnetic radiation can be kept down. They
are encapsulated in a heat conducting, aluminium casing.
Rambus RAM thus has a completely new and different design. The modules are only 16
bits wide. Less data is transferred per clock pulse, but the clock frequencies are much
higher.
As the advanced Rambus modules are quite costly to produce, the technology is on its
way out of the market.
