memory organisation

Associated memory is content addressable memory (CAM), used to increase speed of memory access. Parallel access is possible in CAM, because of the locality of reference property of programs a large number of memory requests found in cache memory. Average time to reach a memory location of a memory and obtains its content is called …

computer organisation – basics

Decoded instruction is stored in IR. The MAR (memory address register) is used to hold the address of the location to or from which data are to be transferred. MDR(memory data register) contains the data to be written into or read out of the addressed location. ISP stands for Instruction Set Processor. processor BUS is …
