Internal Memory

Internal Memory  is the memory device that often use by Central Processing Unit (CPU) for the fast performance.However,the faster the performance the higher the cost of memory per bit. Internal Memory is volatile except the ROM. Cost per bit compare to external Memory is more expensive. Function of Internal memory is to  Temporarily store data and instructions that are being executed or will be executed by the CPU. Internal Memory can divided into 3 types: Register Cache Main Memory Register   located inside the processor. Each register typically holds a word of data (often 32 or 64 bits). Fastest of all forms of computer data storage but also most expensive. Cache Processor cache is an intermediate stage between ultra-fast registers and much slower main memory. It's introduced solely to increase performance of the computer. Most actively used information in the main memory is just duplicated in the cache memory, which is fas...
