TROUBLESHOOTING CPU
VIRTUALIZATION
 The ability of a CPU to run multiple OS at a time virtually through an application
CACHE MEMORY
Cache memory is buffer between RAM and CPU
It stores most Frequently used data for CPU
RAM
WHAT IS MEMORY?
Location where we store data
Random Access Memory (RAM)
It the most common

RAM is Volatile
While SSD and HDD are not volatile

Data and programs can only be used when moved to RAM


TYPE OF RAM
WE HAVE TWO TYPES OF RAM

 Static RAM (SRAM)


 Very fast memory
 Very expensive memory
 Very big memory
 Used in processor cache
 L1, L2, L3
 DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)
 Common memory that we know in computer
 Dynamic
MEMORY

SRAM DRAM
 It is like table and has 8 column  RAM is like table and has 8 column
 And has 4 to 6 transistor for keeping 1bit  Have two chips for each bit
 Transistor
 Receive bit
 Capacitor
 Random Access
 To give voltage to the transistor
 Any storage location can be accessed directly
 unlike magnetic tape
TYPE OF RAM:
SDRAM

 Most modern systems use some form of synchronous DRAM (SDRAM).


 SDRM is still DRAM, but it is synchronous – Tied to the clock.
 DRAM made its debut in 1996 on a stick called a dual inline memory module (DIMM)
DRAM STICKS
SIMM VS DIMM
SINGLE SIDED VS DUAL SIDED
SINGLE- CHANNEL & MULTI-CHANNEL MEMORY
SDR SDRAM

 ( Single Data Rate ) (synchronous DRAM)


 SDRAM is Synchronous with the common system clock
 168 Pin
DDRAM (DOUBLE DATA RATE)

 Double the data rate of SDR


 At the same clock speed
 184 pins
 DDR 200 million transferee per second
 Multiply by 8 to get total throughput in megabytes per second
 200 mb/s x 8 = 1600pc

DDR2 (DOUBLE DATA RATE 2)

 Twice as fast as DDR


 Not Compatible with DDR (200 pins and notch)

DDR2

DDR3 (DOUBLE DATA RATE 3

 Twice the data rate of ddr2


 Larger chip capacities 240 pins – one notch – not compatible with DDR2
DDR4 (DOUBLE DATA RATE 4)

 Twice the data rate of DDR3


 Larger chips capacities - 288 pins – one notch not compatible with DDR3
DDR5 SDRAM

 Twice the data rate of DDR4


 Generation: 5th generation
 Voltage: 1.1

LATENCY

 When the memory controller starts to grab a line of memory, for example, a slight delay occurs.
 The delay in RAM’s response time is called its latency.
 RAM with a lower latency – such as CL2 – is faster than RAM with a higher latency such as CL3.
 The CL refers to clock cycle delays.
 The 2 means that the memory delays two clock cycles before delivering the requested data; the 3 means a three
cycle delay.
REGISTERED OR BUFFERED MEMORY
WORKING WITH RAM

 Like many other pieces of the PC, RAM is very


sensitive to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and other
technician abuse.
 Don’t do this! Grabbing the contacts is a bad idea!
 Always store RAM sticks in anti static packaging
whenever they’re not in use, and use strict ESD
handling procedures
