| Misses | RAM |
| Memory Module | Virtual Memory |
| Latency | Non-Volatile Memory |
| In cache memory, a hit occurs when the requested data is found in the cache. | Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that stores frequently used data for quicker access. |
| Random Access Memory, a type of computer memory that is volatile and temporary, used to store data that can be accessed quickly by the CPU. | In cache memory, a miss occurs when the requested data is not found in the cache and needs to be fetched from the main memory. |
| A technique that uses a portion of the computer's hard drive as an extension of RAM, allowing the system to run more programs simultaneously. | A small circuit board that contains multiple RAM chips and is inserted into a computer's motherboard to provide additional memory. |
| A type of computer memory that retains data even when power is not supplied, such as ROM or flash memory. | The delay between the time a memory request is made and the time the data is accessed, measured in nanoseconds. |
| Memory Management | Swap Space |
| ROM | Firmware |
| Boot-Up Sequence | Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM) |
| Bootloader | Flashing Tool |
| An area of the hard disk used by the operating system as an extension of physical memory (RAM) when the system needs more memory than it currently has. | Memory management is a process of efficiently allocating and deallocating memory in an operating system to optimize overall system performance. |
| Software that is stored in Read Only Memory and is essential for the operation of hardware devices. | A type of non-writeable computer memory that retains its contents even when the power is turned off. |
| A type of ROM that allows for the erasure and reprogramming of its contents, | The process by which a device retrieves instructions from ROM to start up and initialize its hardware components. |
| Software used to flash ROMs, kernels, and other system files onto Android devices. | A program stored on the device that determines which software to load when the device is powered on. |
| Bricking | ROM Flashing |
| Memory Bandwidth | Clock Speed |
| Memory Type | Memory Size |
| Memory Hierarchy | Memory Controller |
| The process of installing a new or custom ROM on a mobile device's internal memory. | A term used to describe a device that has become unusable due to errors or incorrect flashing procedures. |
| The frequency at which a processor can execute instructions, affecting how quickly data can be processed and transferred to memory. | The rate at which data can be read from or written to memory. |
| The amount of memory available for storing data, programs, and processes. | The technology and design of memory modules, which can impact speed, capacity, and power consumption. |
| A component that manages the flow of data between the processor and memory, influencing data transfer rates and efficiency. | The organization of different levels of memory, with varying access speeds and capacities, to optimize performance. |
| Bus Width | Memory Clock Speed |
| Bandwidth | |
| The frequency at which a computer's memory operates, measured in cycles per second. | The number of bits a computer bus can efficiently transmit in a single operation. |
| The maximum rate data can be transferred between two points in a specified path. | |
