System of Memory01:23

System of Memory

9.0K
Memory is categorized into three major systems: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). These systems differ in their capacity and the duration for which they can hold information. Sensory memory captures raw sensory input from the environment, holding it for just a few seconds or less. For example, on hearing a brief, loud sound, like a car horn honking, the sound seems to linger in the mind for a moment even after it stops. This is an instance of sensory memory...

Storage01:23

Storage

502
A schema is a mental framework that helps individuals organize and interpret information. Schemata, formed from previous experiences, influence how we process new information: how we encode it, the inferences we make, and how we retrieve it. For instance, a schema for what a typical classroom looks like might include desks, a teacher's desk, a whiteboard, and students in such an environment. This expectation helps us quickly understand and navigate new classrooms without needing to analyze...

MOS Capacitor01:25

MOS Capacitor

1.8K
A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor is a fundamental structure used extensively in semiconductor device technology, particularly in the fabrication of integrated circuits and MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The MOS capacitor consists of three layers: a metal gate, a dielectric oxide, and a semiconductor substrate.
The metal gate is typically made from highly conductive materials such as aluminum or polysilicon. Beneath the metal gate lies a thin layer of...

Long-Term Memory01:18

Long-Term Memory

914
Long-term memory is a relatively permanent type of memory, capable of storing vast amounts of information over extended periods. Its storage capacity is generally considered unlimited.
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...

Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

621
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

2.2K
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Background:

  • Emerging non-volatile (NV) memory technologies like PCM, MRAM, and STT-RAM offer byte addressability and high performance.
  • NV memory's persistence and speed enable its use as both storage and main memory.
  • Previous research on NV memory for main memory and storage has been conducted independently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present methods for integrating main memory and file system management for NV memory.
  • To enable simultaneous utilization of NV memory as both main memory and storage.
  • To investigate the impact of file system data structures on NV memory performance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed methods based on file system management for NV memory.
  • Implemented proposed methods within the Linux kernel.
  • Evaluated performance using the QEMU system emulator and cycle-accurate full-system simulation.

Main Results:

  • Proposed methods perform comparably to DRAM memory allocators and significantly outperform page swapping.
  • NV memory performance is influenced by file system internal data structures.
  • Traditional file system data structures are not always optimal for byte-addressable NV memory.
  • Moderate increases in NV memory access latency have a limited effect on page allocation cost.
