SLOW MEMORY [7 records]

Record 1 2019-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Memories
CONT

Memory is your system's short term data memory(it stores the information your computer is actively using). The more programs your system is running, they more memory you’ll likely need.... If your system is slow or unresponsive, a memory upgrade is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to improve performance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mémoires (Informatique)
CONT

Une mise à niveau de la mémoire est la méthode la plus simple pour améliorer la performance. Une mise à niveau est utile lorsque vous mettez en place une nouvelle base de données, si vous ajoutez une fonction commerciale à un site Internet professionnel, si vous augmentez le nombre d'utilisateurs d'une application, ou si vous devez faire face à une augmentation des charges de travail virtuelles.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Memorias (Computadoras)
CONT

Si el sistema es lento o no responde, una actualización de la memoria es como norma general una de las formas más fáciles y rentables de mejorar el rendimiento.

Record 2 2017-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Education Theory and Methods
DEF

The acquisition of knowledge about the underlying structure of a complex stimulus environment by a process which takes place naturally, simply and without conscious operations.

CONT

Implicit learning is slow and accumulates through repetition over many trials... Implicit learning is expressed primarily by improved performance on certain tasks without the subject being able to describe just what has been learned, and it involves memory systems that do not draw on the contents of the general knowledge of the individual.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

L'apprentissage implicite est lent et résulte de la répétition de nombreux essais [...] Il améliore la réalisation de tâches répétées, sans que le sujet soit généralement capable de décrire précisément ce qu'il a appris, et met en œuvre des systèmes de mémoire qui n'utilisent pas les connaissances de l'individu.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Psicología cognitiva
  • Teorías y métodos pedagógicos
CONT

El autor analiza los diferentes tipos de aprendizaje inconsciente, en cuyo caso las personas no sólo ignoran qué han aprendido, sino que muchas veces ni siquiera saben que han aprendido.

Record 4 2002-03-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

The structure of a set of storage locations with differing sizes and speeds, used selectively because of their different cost-performance ratios.

CONT

Virtual memory and memory hierarchies. A concept related to virtual memory is that of hierarchical memory. This means that there is a hierarchy of memory types ranging from "large and slow" to "small and fast".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mémoires (Informatique)
CONT

Chercher à concilier dans un seul matériel ces deux qualités, conduirait à un coût énorme, et l'on sait que la solution est d'associer plusieurs mémoires de caractéristiques différentes, en hiérarchisant leurs fonctions: à un bout, la petite mémoire ultra-rapide qui échange des informations avec l'unité logique, à l'autre la grosse mémoire réservoir de faible prix par bit et des intermédiaires dont le nombre varie avec le raffinement du système. C'est ce que l'on appelle souvent la hiérarchie des mémoires [...]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Memorias (Computadoras)
DEF

Ordenamiento en que los datos se pueden almacenar en varias clases de dispositivos de almacenamiento que poseen características diferentes, por ejemplo, la capacidad y la velocidad de acceso.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
OBS

long term memory(LTM) : The ability to respond to a stimulus, recite a list, remember an association, and so on, after a long period of time since the material was presented. Its slow rate of decay and great amount of remembered material distinguish it from short term memory.

Record 7 1989-12-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Software
DEF

A Zenith Data Systems term for BIOS program (firmware) which have been loaded into faster RAM memory when the system is first initialized.

DEF

A Zenith technique that loads ROM into fast RAM to increase performance.

CONT

A slushware feature offered on both machines increases performance by copying the ROM basic input output system(B10S) when the system books up from slow 8-bit read-only memory to fast 16-bit memory, officials said.

CONT

Zenith’s engineers pulled out all the stops to wring performance from its flagship model, the Zenith Z-386/25. This is a zero-wait-stake, 25 MHz machine with 64 K of 25. nanosecond cache memory and Zenith’s oddly named Slushware, which automatically shadows video and ROM BIOS into faster system RAM.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Logiciels
DEF

Nom donné à une logique câblée de Zénith, située en mémoire vive, et qui donne plus de souplesse et de rapidité aux logiques en mémoire morte.
