data buffer
Class
region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another
memory management unit
Class
computer hardware unit having all memory references passed through itself, primarily performing the translation of virtual memory addresses to physical addresses
CPU cache
Class
dynamically managed local memory that mirrors main memory in a microprocessor to reduce the cost of access
magnetic-core memory
Class
predominant form of random-access computer memory for 20 years between about 1955 and 1975
DIMM
Class
computer memory module that has separate electrical contacts on each side of the module and a 64-bit data path
drum memory
Class
magnetic data storage device
non-volatile random-access memory
Class
random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off (non-volatile),in contrast to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and static random-access memory (SRAM), which both maintain data only for as long as power is applied
program counter
Class
processor register that indicates the location in memory of the currently-executing instruction in the binary code of a program
RDRAM
Class
type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory developed by Rambus
magnetoresistive random-access memory

Class
type of high performance DRAM graphics card memory
primary memory
Class
central memory storage for a computer containing instructions and data to be worked on; usually mainly in the form of RAM
delay line memory
Class
sequential-access refreshable memory, in which amplifier and a pulse shaper are connected between the output of the delay line and the input, creating a loop that maintains the signal
Nano-RAM
Class
proprietary computer memory technology from the company Nantero
memory controller
Class
