The architecture of memory

The architecture of memory in computers is like a well-organized library. It includes different types: RAM (short-term memory), which temporarily stores data needed for current tasks, and storage devices like SSDs or HDDs, which hold data long-term. Memory is structured in a hierarchy, with faster, smaller memory closer to the processor, and larger, slower memory further away. The processor accesses data through various pathways, ensuring quick retrieval and efficient processing. This organized system allows computers to perform tasks smoothly by quickly accessing information and managing multiple data sources simultaneously.
