SDRAM

Synchronous dynamic random-access memory.

second-level cache

A cache memory provided outside of the microprocessor chip, usually located on the same module. Also called board-level, external, or module-level cache.

set-associative

A form of cache organization in which the location of a data block in main memory constrains, but does not completely determine, its location in the cache. Set-associative organization is a compromise between direct-mapped organization, in which data from a given address in main memory has only one possible cache location, and fully asso- ciative organization, in which data from anywhere in main memory can be put any- where in the cache. An “ n-way set-associative” cache allows data from a given address in main memory to be cached in any of n locations.

SIMM

Single inline memory module.

SIP

Single inline package.

SIPP

Single inline pin package.

SMD

Surface mount device.

SNaN

Signaling NaN. See Nan.

SRAM

See SSRAM.

SROM

Serial read-only memory.

SSI

Small-scale integration.

SSRAM

Synchronous static random-access memory.

stack

An area of memory set aside for temporary data storage or for procedure and interrupt service linkages. A stack uses the last-in/first-out concept. As items are added to (pushed on) the stack, the stack pointer decrements. As items are retrieved from (popped off) the stack, the stack pointer increments.
