Functioning

A typical scenario of memory usage is as follows:

  • As the computer is turned on, it loads data from read-only memory (ROM)
  • A POST (power-on-self-test) is performed to check the functioning of the major components. All memory addresses are also checked by the memory controller to make sure that the memory chips are doing fine without any error. This function is performed by the memory controller with a read/write operation.
  • BIOS (Basic input/output system) is loaded from the ROM (Read Only Memory). BIOS is responsible for providing all the data including that of booting, storage devices, storage device and plug-n-play devices.
  • Now your PC loads the operating system into the system RAM from the hard drive. The information about the Operating System thus loaded into the system RAM is usually maintained therein till the computer is powered off. This enables the CPU to access the Operating System (OS) immediately from the RAM, thereby enhancing the performance of the computer.
  • As an application is opened, it is loaded into the system RAM. Most of the applications load the essential parts first and then load other parts as and when needed to conserve the usage of RAM.
  • When a file is opened in the loaded application, it is also loaded into the RAM and as you save the file and close the application in use, it is etched to the storage device at an specified location while the RAM is purged simultaneously.

As and when you open program it is loaded into the system RAM and the information is put in the temporary storage area of the computer. This allows the CPU to access the information easily and prevents the overall system from performing slow. Now when the CPU needs the data, it refers to the RAM. After retrieving the data from the RAM, the computer processes it write the processing results to the RAM again. This goes on in a continuous cycle. The data thus loaded into the RAM is deleted when the application is closed, enabling the RAM to store new data. Changes that are not saved to a permanent storage device before the purging of the RAM, are lost.
