In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

A CPU, or central processing unit, is like the brain of any computer or mobile device. CPUs receive data from every other part of the device, and then decide how and when to launch apps, display ...
