Main has the following characteristics that differentiates it from physical or secondary memory. It is volatile, expensive, small in size and fast while physical memory is permanent, large in capacity and is cheaper than main memory.
Cache is located on the processor so that it can access what's in there faster. The management system will put things in cache that it thinks you might need next. So if you're looking at one page of a word document, it might decide to put the next page in cache so that you will get it quicker. That's a very very simple example as probably the whole document will fit in cache.
A CPU cache is used by the central processing unit of a computer to reduce the average time to access memory. The cache is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations
(Dynamic) Memory is:
Secondary storage is:
2 difference between main memory and other memory locations
secondary memory is actually the permanent memory/the backing storage of the computer. it is of two types:sequential accessdirect accessauxiliary memory is the computer's internal/temporary memory. it is also of two types:random access memory (RAM)read only memory (ROM)the difference between secondary memory and auxiliary memory is that:-both are same i.e both performs the same operationsthanks.
They are both storage devices
i am not sure
Long term memory is found on secondary storage devices.
No. The secondary storage is typically slowerthan primary storage. But the secondary storage has higher capacity than primary storage.
Primary memory is the only type of memory directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads and executes instructions stored here. Also, any data actively operated on is also stored here.
Main memory in a computer is storage that will be erased when a computer is turned off. Backing storage is memory that will save information when the computer shuts down.
difference between register and memory location
P.M. memory includes RAM and ROM, which is temporary and permanent both. S.M. memory is just permanent memory which is used for the future. P.M. memory is used for the present work.
secondary storage are cds hard-drive memory cards
