Line 1:
'''Memory architecture''' describes the methods used to implement electronic computer data storage in a manner that is a combination of the fastest, most reliable, most durable, and least expensive way to store and retrieve information. Depending on the specific application, a compromise of one of these requirements may be necessary in order to improve another requirement.
For example, [[dynamic memory]] is commonly used for [[primary data storage]] due to its fast access speed. However dynamic memory must be repeatedly [[memory refresh | refreshed]] with a surge of current millions of time per second, or the stored data will decay and be lost. [[Flash memory]] allows for long-term storage over a period of years, but it is much slower than dynamic memory, and the static memory storage cells wear out with frequent use.
