asynchronous DRAM
[/eɪˈsɪŋkrənəs ˈdiːræm/]
nounpl: asynchronous DRAMs
DRAM assíncrono
1. A type of dynamic random-access memory that does not require a synchronization clock signal to operate, with access times controlled by address and control signals rather than a system clock
Asynchronous DRAM was commonly used in older computer systems before synchronous DRAM became the industry standard.
O DRAM assíncrono era comumente usado em sistemas de computador mais antigos antes que o DRAM síncrono se tornasse o padrão da indústria.
2. Legacy memory technology characterized by slower access times and independent timing relative to the processor clock
The transition from asynchronous DRAM to synchronous DRAM improved overall system performance significantly.
A transição de DRAM assíncrono para DRAM síncrono melhorou significativamente o desempenho geral do sistema.
Asynchronous DRAM is a technical term primarily used in computer science and IT industries in both Brazil and Portugal. It represents an important milestone in computing history, marking the transition from older, slower memory technologies to modern high-speed synchronous alternatives. In Brazilian universities and tech companies, this term is essential for understanding computer architecture and hardware evolution. The technology is rarely used in contemporary systems but remains important in discussions of computing history and legacy system maintenance.
