Hi, I'm Stephen Jones and I'm one of the

So let's have a look at this memory thing. Let's have a closer look at.

how it works because it's so important in the performance.

And now the holes are fucked for one bit on the left or it's empty for a server.

The memory is read by switching on the transistor which can be...

And this is why it's called random access memory. That's the random access.

Data is addressed by a row and a column index.

We are taken from the requested address.

First, the row is accessed. All the cells in the row...

I'll come to that in a moment. Next.

You can read repeatedly from the amplifiers because they hold that voltage. You can read as many

times you like from the Festrow. So if you can open a row and use it repeatedly.

I need to read another row. I first have to write back the

data which was held in the amplifiers. If you remember, the row was drained when it was...

it was copied into the amplifiers because the capacitor is discharged. So we now have to...

It was about three times as expensive as switching column within a page because of this look.

So today, a mental model, I really think the best way to understand the how of something is to know.

So this is actually a really interesting point to make. You see what's special about

is that we make both programming language for the hardware and the hardware

language to match what the hard way can do. But we also get to adjust the hardware.

So there's more programmable the hardware designers come up with really
