Record 2 2008-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

A direct access RAM which is a volatile storage whose content requires periodic refreshment.

CONT

Unlike other types of memory devices, dynamic-RAM uses only one tiny transistor per memory cell.

OBS

A binary state is represented by the presence or absence of an electric charge in each storage cell.

OBS

dynamic RAM: term and definition officially approved by the Government EDP Standards Committee (GESC).

Key term(s)
  • dynamic random access memory

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mémoires (Informatique)
DEF

Mémoire vive à accès direct qui est une mémoire volatile dont le contenu nécessite un rafraîchissement périodique.

OBS

Un état binaire est représenté par la présence ou l’absence d’une charge électrique dans chaque cellule de mémoire.

OBS

mémoire vive dynamique : terme et définition uniformisés par le Comité des normes gouvernementales en informatique.

Spanish

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

Circuito de memoria de acceso al azar que representa los estados de la memoria utilizando capacitores que almacenan descargas eléctricas.

OBS

Como los capacitores pierden eventualmente sus cargas, los circuitos DRAM deben regenerarse constantemente, de aquí el nombre de "dinámicos".

A form of dynamic random access memory that can run at higher clock speeds than conventional DRAM by employing a bursting technique in which the DRAM predicts the address of the next memory location to be accessed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mémoires (Informatique)
DEF

Mémoire dynamique synchrone [...] qui règle la vitesse des applications de l’ordinateur.

OBS

[Elle] a remplacé la mémoire dynamique classique (EDO) car [elle est] plus performante.

Record 12 1995-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computers and Calculators
OBS

fourth generation of computers: A designation covering machines that were designed after 1970 (approximately), i.e. the current generation. Conceptually the most important criterion that can be used to separate them from the third generation is that they have been designed to work efficiently with the current generation of high-level languages and are intended to be easier to program by their end-user. From a hardware point of view they are characterized by being constructed largely from integrated circuits and have multi-megabyte fast random-access memories fabricated in MOS technology.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ordinateurs et calculateurs
CONT

ordinateurs de quatrième génération(1971-) : ordinateurs dont les composants bénéficient des techniques LSI ou VLSI, c'est-à-dire à grande ou très grande intégration de circuits. Les ULSI(«Ultra Large Scale Integration») sont prévus avec des DRAM 256 Mbits à 0, 25 microns pour 1995-1996.
